EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the exquisite "Busts of Apollo and Daphne" by Louis Lerambert, displayed at Versailles in 1674. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and artistry of these baroque sculptures, which are located within the grounds of this iconic royal residence. The busts depict two mythological figures from ancient Greek mythology. On one side stands Apollo, the god of music, poetry, and light. His noble features exude power and grace as he gazes into the distance with an air of divine authority. Opposite him is Daphne, a nymph who was transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's persistent pursuit. Her delicate features reflect her vulnerability as she appears frozen in time. These neoclassical masterpieces perfectly complement the grandeur and opulence of Versailles' gardens. Designed by Louis Lerambert himself, these sculptures add a touch of mythological allure to an already breathtaking landscape. As we admire this print captured by Jean Lepautre in 1674, we are transported back to a time when French art flourished under royal patronage. The engravings from Views and Plans of Versailles provide us with glimpses into this magnificent era where beauty intertwined with mythology to create timeless works that continue to captivate audiences today.
