Following PSG’s triumph, the image was transformed into a limited-edition color lithograph, produced in 75 signed and numbered copies. At its center, the image features two sculptural, Apollonian figures proudly bearing the colors and emblems of Paris and its club: blue, white, red, and the fleur-de-lis. These figures are adorned with architectural elements from the Parc des Princes—PSG’s home stadium—reimagined as armor and helmets. The stadium’s iconic arches rest atop their heads, recalling both the silhouette of the UEFA Champions League trophy and the helmet of Vercingetorix, the Gallic chieftain who resisted Roman conquest. The bust of the figure on the right draws from the Borghese Gladiator, a celebrated work from the Louvre’s antiquities collection, further anchoring the work in Parisian iconography.

 

Their posture directly references Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, with an echo of Marianne’s raised tricolore. In the distance, the Eiffel Tower stands as a symbol of the city and its triumph. The background is drawn from Barontini’s original painting, rendered in ink and airbrush before being photographed. The scene captures a defiant, celebratory march—an imagined procession echoing through the streets of Paris and across the Champs-Élysées.
