Note: This bronze, with Boreas as a personification of the North Wind representing Air, is based on Marsy's preparatory model for one of the monumental garden statues, which was never built as planned. Louis XIV commissioned bronze reductions, or smaller scale copies, of Marsy's work and François Girardon's statue to form a pair for his Salon Ovale in the palace of Versailles. The Getty Museum's collection includes two casts of both of these works, in two different sizes.
