| Paris has been portrayed, honored, and recorded by its monuments throughout the centuries. Monuments help define Parisian character by way of providing both foreigners and Parisians with daily reminders of tragic events, nobility, and heroic efforts. In some instances, they have become both landmarks and symbols of the city itself. What tourist would visit Paris without visiting the Arc de Triomphe? There are several pieces in Seasons of Paris that portray or relate this important aspect of Paris, including Rodin’s Defense of Paris and Germain’s Design for a Triumphal Bridge. |
