Door of the Hôtel de Ville at Toulon
by PUGET, Pierre, Marble
In 1656 Puget received his first important commission, for the door of the H�tel de Ville at Toulon. The general scheme of this door was one already current in Italy, but in the treatment of the figures Puget shows great originality. In the freedom of their movement and in the fluidity of their modelling they are far more Baroque than anything of the period in the Parisian tradition.
