"The Horses of the Sun" by Gaspard Marsy is a celebrated sculptural ensemble that epitomizes the grandeur and artistic excellence of 17th-century French Baroque art. Created by the renowned French sculptor Gaspard Marsy, this masterpiece is prominently displayed in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, one of the most iconic and historically significant royal residences in France. The sculpture is part of the larger decorative scheme of the palace gardens, which were designed by the famous landscape architect André Le Nôtre under the patronage of King Louis XIV.

The ensemble depicts the mythological scene of Apollo, the Sun God, rising from the sea at dawn, a theme that aligns with the Sun King's own identification with Apollo. The central figure of Apollo is shown driving a chariot pulled by four powerful horses, symbolizing the daily journey of the sun across the sky. The dynamic composition captures the vigorous movement and energy of the horses as they surge forward, embodying the dawn's first light breaking through the darkness. The intricate detailing and lifelike representation of the horses and chariot demonstrate Marsy's exceptional skill in rendering both form and motion in bronze.

"The Horses of the Sun" not only serves as a testament to Marsy's artistic prowess but also reflects the broader cultural and political aspirations of Louis XIV's reign. By commissioning such works, the king sought to reinforce his image as a divine ruler and patron of the arts, thereby solidifying his authority and legacy. Today, the sculpture remains a focal point of the Versailles gardens, attracting countless visitors who marvel at its historical significance and artistic beauty.
