EDITORS COMMENTS
This view of the Bassin d'Apollon in the gardens of Versailles, created between 1700 and 1799 by the anonymous artist Anon, is a stunning depiction of the iconic fountain of Apollo in its eighteenth-century splendor. The etching, attributed to Jacques Rigaud, showcases the grandeur and opulence of the Château de Versailles during the reign of King Louis XV of France, known as Louis the Beloved. The image captures the essence of the Bassin d'Apollon, with its ornate ornamental design and the majestic figure of Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, gracing the center of the fountain. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of playful dogs, frolicking around the base of the fountain, adding a touch of whimsy and delight to the otherwise formal setting. Surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque landscapes, the Bassin d'Apollon was a popular attraction for visitors to the Château de Versailles, showcasing the wealth and cultural significance of the French monarchy during the eighteenth century. This etching, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when grandeur and beauty reigned supreme. The image also highlights the influence of Dutch and Netherlandish art on French art during this period, with its intricate details and meticulous attention to ornamentation. Today, this etching serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Europe, and a testament to the enduring allure of the Château de Versailles and its storied past.
