Description

Dessinée par Bertel Thorvaldsen, puis sculptée entre 1820 et 1821 par Lukas Ahorn, elle commémore les officiers et les centaines de soldats du régiment des Gardes suisses morts en 1792 au service du roi de France, Louis XVI, lorsque les révolutionnaires prirent d'assaut le palais des Tuileries à Paris.

Depuis le début du XVIIe siècle, un régiment de Gardes suisses constitué de mercenaires sert en France dans le cadre de la Maison du roi. Le 6 octobre 1789, le roi Louis XVI est contraint de déménager avec sa famille du château de Versailles au palais des Tuileries, à Paris. En juin 1791, il tente de s'évader vers Montmédy.
