1680s 1688 Added Artistic Bassin Doubtless Dragon Effect Figures Fountain Fountains Give Literal Mythological Pool Representation Versailles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century print depicts the Dragon Pool, or Bassin du Dragon, located in the renowned Gardens of Versailles in France. The image, created in 1688, captures the grandeur and artistic beauty of the royal estate during the reign of King Louis XIV. The fountain at the center of the pool is adorned with intricately carved mythological figures, including dragons, mermaids, and other sea creatures. These figures are doubtless added to give artistic effect to the picture, rather than being a literal representation of the scene. The pool, which was designed by the famous gardener André Le Nôtre, is surrounded by lush greenery and ornate sculptures, further enhancing its breathtaking appearance. The intricate details of the print, from the rippling water to the delicate flowers and foliage, transport us back to the opulent 1680s and offer a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the French monarchy during this period. The Dragon Pool remains a popular attraction for visitors to Versailles, a testament to its enduring beauty and historical significance.
