EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Fountain of Latona with central figure of Latona" a magnificent sculpture created by Balthazar Marsy between 1667 and 1670. The fountain, located in the Château de Versailles in France, depicts the central figure of Latona, the mother of Apollo and Artemis. Crafted from marble and lead, this garden ornament stands as a testament to Marsy's artistic prowess. The intricate details bring the sculpture to life, capturing every delicate feature of Latona's form. As one gazes at this masterpiece, they are transported back in time to an era when art flourished under the reign of Louis XIV. Louis XIV himself is often referred to as the Sun King or Louis the Great, and his presence looms large over this image. This fountain serves as a symbol not only of his power but also his appreciation for beauty and grandeur. It reflects the opulence that defined his reign and solidifies his place in history as one of France's most influential monarchs. As we admire this photograph captured by Peter Willi, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates centuries' worth of history within its frame. It allows us to appreciate both Marsy's artistic talent and Louis XIV's legacy while reminding us that even today, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and wonderment among all who encounter them.
