π¨β² Paint the grandest square in Lyon β Place des Terreaux at golden hour
Four bronze horses charge out of the Baroque fountain at the centre of Place des Terreaux, water cascading around them in the warm evening light. Behind it, the neoclassical faΓ§ade of the Lyon City Hall glows amber, its grand columns and arched windows catching the last of the sun. CafΓ© terraces line the edges of the square, golden and alive. This is Lyon at its most elegant and most Lyonnais β one of the finest public squares in France, created by the sculptor FrΓ©dΓ©ric-Auguste Bartholdi, the same man who made the Statue of Liberty. This is your painting.
Pour something French. Let the brush find the amber. Paint it on your iPad or print it and paint on canvas β both are included.

β¨ A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
The Fontaine Bartholdi at the centre of Place des Terreaux was created by FrΓ©dΓ©ric-Auguste Bartholdi in 1889 β the same sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty in New York. The four horses pulling the chariot represent four rivers flowing to the sea. The fountain was originally designed for a different city, but Lyon fell in love with it and kept it. The Lyon City Hall behind it was built between 1646 and 1672 in a grand Baroque style, and its facade was redesigned after a fire in 1674. The square itself has been the civic heart of Lyon for centuries β the place where the city gathers, celebrates and demonstrates. During the Festival of Lights in December, the entire square is transformed into a spectacle of projected light and colour that draws millions of visitors from across the world. β²
