Night at The Palace of Versailles, France

This is a large marble sculpture by french sculptor Jean Raon (1630-1707). La Nuit (direct English translation; The Night) is represented in the guise of Venus holding a torch into the air, in a similar style to that of Zeus and a thunberbolt. This is part of a series of sculptures of the Grande Commande, commissioned by King Louis XIV in 1674 for the Gardens of Versailles.
The initial project was proposed in 1674 and plans were drawn up by Charles Le Brun as to what the series of 24 sculptures could depict. The idea was to be "designed as a broad review of the effects of God on the world and a unity of man and nature" with personifications of various natural phenomenons and landmarks. The 24 sculptures were separated into individual series of four sculptures, depicting:The Four Times of the Day - Morning, Midday, Evening, NightFour Continents of the World - Europe, Asia, Africa, AmericaThe Four Seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn, WinterThe Four Elements - Earth, Air, Fire, WaterThe Four Human Temperaments - The Choleric, The Phlegmatic, The Sanguine, The MelancholicThe Four Poems - The Heroic Poem, The Lyric, The Satirical, The Pastoral
