Triumphal Arch, Paris

This image shows a portion of the interior arches of the Arc du Triomph in the Place du Carrousel in Paris. It was built around 1806 to commemorate Napoleon's victories and was originally topped by the famous bronze horses from St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, which had been captured by Napoleon in 1798.

I've added a texture from Shadowhouse Creations.
