1619 1683 Baptiste Colbert Commemorative Marquis Seignelay
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking statue pays tribute to Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a French statesman and Marquis de Seignelay, who played a pivotal role in the reign of King Louis XIV. Born in Reims in 1619, Colbert rose to prominence under the tutelage of Cardinal Mazarin, becoming Finance Minister in 1661. He is best known for his economic and financial reforms, which transformed France into a major European power. Colbert's policies focused on increasing agricultural productivity, expanding trade, and promoting industry, leading to a period of prosperity and growth. He also oversaw the construction of the Palace of Versailles and the establishment of the Académie Royale des Sciences. Colbert's tenure as Finance Minister ended in 1683, when he died at the age of 64. This commemorative statue, created in his honor, stands as a testament to his significant contributions to French history and his enduring legacy as a visionary leader. The intricate details of the statue capture the essence of Colbert's regal bearing and his unwavering dedication to serving the king and the people of France.
