At its centre stands the equestrian statue of Louis XIV, a symbol that has watched over the city for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy relationship with Bellecour goes far beyond photography. In fact, the very first Little Big World planet I ever created was photographed here in 2014. What started as a simple panoramic experiment unexpectedly revealed an entirely new artistic universe and became the foundation of a project that would later grow across multiple countries and continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree years later, I returned to Bellecour with a new vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wanted to create a planet worthy of the scale and symbolism of the location itself. To achieve this, I chose to photograph the square on May 1st, one of the rare days when this usually busy public space becomes almost completely empty. The conditions were perfect: soft blue tones in the sky, moving clouds and an unusual sense of calm at the heart of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this miniature world, Louis XIV rises between earth and sky like a timeless guardian. The immense square folds around him, transforming one of Lyon’s most familiar places into a dreamlike planet suspended in space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Place Bellecour planet was published by the City of Lyon and became the starting point of what would later evolve into the Little Big World collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than an artwork, Place Bellecour Planet represents the beginning of a journey. It embodies the origins of the Little Big World collection and remains one of its most personal and symbolic creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCollector Order Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork is sold as an unframed and unmounted fine art collector print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice: 900 USD\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 60 × 60 cm\u003cbr\u003ePaper: Hahnemühle German Etching 310 gsm, matte textured archival fine art paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Limited Collector Edition of 300\u003cbr\u003ePrint: Unsigned\u003cbr\u003eFrame \u0026amp; mounting: Not included\u003cbr\u003eCertificate: Digital certificate of authenticity sent by email after purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEstimated delivery time is 10 to 20 working days after payment confirmation, including personal order review, fine art print production, dispatch and international delivery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping rates are calculated according to the delivery country selected at checkout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurrent DDP destinations are Canada, Australia, Switzerland and Norway.
