The Equestrian Statue of Henri IV is a monumental sculpture located on the Pont Neuf in Paris, France. Created by the French sculptor François-Frédéric Lemot, it was inaugurated in 1818 and stands as a testament to the artistic and political sentiments of the early 19th century. The statue commemorates King Henri IV of France, who was known for his efforts to bring peace and prosperity to France after the Wars of Religion, and for initiating the construction of the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris.

François-Frédéric Lemot, born in 1772, was a prominent sculptor of his time, and his selection for this commission reflects the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy, which sought to legitimize its rule by reviving the memory of one of its most beloved ancestors. The statue replaced an earlier one of Henri IV that had been erected in 1614 by Marie de' Medici but was destroyed during the French Revolution.

The bronze equestrian statue depicts Henri IV as a peacemaker and a benevolent ruler, mounted on a rearing horse. The king is portrayed with a sense of calm dignity, wearing armor and a cloak, with his right hand raised in a gesture that suggests leadership and authority. The sculpture is set upon a stone pedestal, which is adorned with bas-reliefs and inscriptions that further celebrate the king's achievements and legacy.

Lemot's Equestrian Statue of Henri IV is not only a work of art but also a symbol of political restoration and historical continuity. It has survived various political regimes and has become an integral part of the cultural heritage of Paris. The statue's prominent location and its artistic significance make it a popular attraction for both tourists and art enthusiasts, as well as a subject of study for historians and art historians alike.
