Im Zuge der französischen Dominanz über die Schweiz dienten 1200 Schweizer Leibgardisten dem französischen König Ludwig XVI. Als im Zuge der Revolution der Tuilerienpalast gestürmt wurde, befanden sich 1000 dieser Schweizer im leerstehenden Königspalast, 760 kamen so zu Tode. Thorwaldsen stellte als Denkmal einen ruhenden Löwen dar, welcher im Zentrum von Luzern in Stein gemeisselt wurde. Reliefs wie dieses waren zu der Zeit sehr beliebt. (†) (1190072) (13)
