Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel - PARIS-2018-73
by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel. It is an example of Corinthian style architecture. It was built between 1806 and 1808 to commemorate Napoleon's military victories of the previous year.

Looking west [the view in this photograph], the arch is aligned with the Luxor Obelisk in the Place de la Concorde, the centerline of the grand boulevard Champs-ƉlysĆ©es, the Arc de Triomphe at the Place de l'Ɖtoile, and, although it is not directly visible from the Place du Carrousel, the Grande Arche de la DĆ©fense.

Three Eyes ā€“ Chimera ā€“ Susan Flavell
by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Chimera is Susan Flavell's representation of the mythical monster of the Lycean civilisation. In Greek mythology, the chimera was a fire-breathing female monster with a lionā€™s head, a goatā€™s body, and a serpentā€™s tail, which ravaged the lands of the Lycean coast with her fiery breath until she was slain by the hero Bellerophon with the aid of the flying horse Pegasus.

The sculpture is on loan to the City of Fremantle from Kerry Harmanis until 2023.
