EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite view of the Fontaine du Point du Jour in the renowned gardens of Versailles, captured between 1700 and 1799, showcases the grandeur and elegance of French garden design during the 18th century. Anonymous, the creator of this work, masterfully illustrates the intricate ornamentation and meticulous attention to detail that characterized the gardens of the French monarchy. The scene is dominated by the impressive fountain, its water cascading gracefully over ornate statues and ornaments, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding trees and flowers. Figures of people are scattered throughout the garden, adding a sense of life and activity to the serene landscape. The Dutch and Netherlandish influences on French garden design are evident in the intricate ornamentation and use of color, particularly in the depiction of the trees and plants. This watercolor on paper illustration, from the esteemed Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe during this period. The Fontaine du Point du Jour, with its statuesque figures and intricate ornamentation, stands as a testament to the artistic and horticultural achievements of the time. This illustration invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of strolling through the gardens of Versailles, a truly unforgettable experience.
