1686 Basin Versailles Willem Latone
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of "Basin Latone Versailles Veues de Versailles Swidde" by Willem Swidde, an esteemed engraver from 17th-century Holland. Created in 1686, this exquisite engraving transports us to the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles. The image captures the magnificent Basin of Latone, a centerpiece within the iconic gardens of Versailles. Designed by André Le Nôtre, this monumental fountain depicts a mythological scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Latona, mother of Apollo and Diana, is shown seeking refuge on a rocky island while her children protect her from unruly peasants who have disturbed her peace. The sculpture beautifully portrays their transformation into frogs and lizards as punishment for their insolence. Swidde's meticulous craftsmanship shines through in every detail: from the intricate engravings that bring life to each figure to the delicate play between light and shadow that adds depth to this masterpiece. The composition evokes a sense of awe as we witness nature merging with artistry. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the opulence and splendor that defined Louis XIV's reign at Versailles. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared cultural heritage but also of humanity's enduring pursuit for beauty and artistic expression throughout history.
