This is a silhouette of the "Quadriga of Apollo" sculpture atop the Grand Palais in Paris, France
MomentThis is a silhouette of the "Quadriga of Apollo" sculpture atop the Grand Palais in Paris, France. The sculpture depicts the sun god Apollo in his chariot, pulled by four horses. The figures are cast in bronze and are rendered in dynamic poses, with Apollo raising his arms as if to greet the dawn. The sculpture is set against a pale, overcast sky, with the glass roof of the Grand Palais visible in the background. A large tree with dark green foliage partially obscures the right side of the sculpture. The overall impression is one of power and grandeur, bathed in the soft light of dusk or dawn.
