EDITORS COMMENTS
This view of the Bassin de Neptune in the garden of Versailles, created by Jacques Rigaud between 1691 and 1753, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Palace of Versailles during the reign of King Louis XV of France. The painting, which is believed to be a watercolor on paper or possibly cardboard, showcases the majestic fountain as its centerpiece. The Bassin de Neptune, a large circular basin adorned with statues and shells, was a popular attraction for visitors to the royal estate. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Château de Versailles, with its intricately designed facade and towering roofline. The king's horse-drawn carriage, likely belonging to Louis XV, known as "Louis the Beloved," is depicted making its way along the winding road leading to the palace. The peaceful landscape is dotted with trees and plants, adding to the serene atmosphere. The influence of Dutch and Flemish art is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the use of color. The figures in the painting, including horsemen and gardeners, add a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is one of the many museums that hold Jacques Rigaud's works in their collections, showcasing the artist's significant contribution to the art world during the 17th and 18th centuries. This view of the Bassin de Neptune not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as a window into the rich history and culture of France during the Ancien Régime.
