The Apotheosis of St. Louis is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city — a gilded equestrian statue of King Louis IX of France, sword raised skyward, standing guard in front of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. Originally unveiled at the 1904 World's Fair, it has become a symbol of St. Louis's history, ambition, and identity.

This art print is a locally designed illustration of that iconic statue — rendered with a gritty vintage texture that feels like a relic from the city's golden era. Equal parts history and art, it works in a living room, office, or anywhere you want to put a little St. Louis on the wall.

Printed on premium paper stock. Locally designed in St. Louis, Missouri.

Makes a great gift for St. Louis natives, transplants who've adopted the city, and anyone who's ever stopped to look up at that statue and felt something.
