EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the rear view of the magnificent Fountain of Apollo, a masterpiece created between 1668 and 1671 by Jean Baptiste I Tuby. Located in the Château de Versailles, France, this iconic fountain is known as Le Bassin du Char d'Apollon. In this image, we are treated to a breathtaking sight: the golden quadriga atop the chariot of Apollo. The sun god himself stands tall and proud, his regal figure exuding power and grace. As if frozen in time, Apollo guides his four majestic horses through the mythological pond that surrounds him. The grandeur of this scene is enhanced by its surroundings - the opulent palace gardens of Versailles. The meticulously manicured landscape serves as an exquisite backdrop for this artistic marvel. Every element within this composition speaks to both nature's beauty and man's ability to create awe-inspiring works of art. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination takes flight, transporting us back to a time when Versailles was at its zenith. We can almost hear the gentle trickle of water from the fountain and feel a sense of tranquility wash over us. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Tuby's craftsmanship but also the enduring allure of Versailles itself. It reminds us that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to captivate audiences with their timeless beauty.
