Ci-dessus, un dragon en plomb polychromé de Pierre Mazeline (1673-1674), l'un des survivants des personnages des fables qui ornaient les fontaines du labyrinthe dans les jardins du château. La dernière photo montre l'aiguière de 1603-1604 de Francesco Bordoni et une partie de la grue de Pierre Mazeline, deux autres éléments rescapés du labyrinthe détruit en 1775.

A distinctive dragon!
And beautiful shots, particularly that third one.
Cool, but it looks like a fish to me. Go figure!
The dragon is bizarre to a modern eye. It needs some time at the gym.
Interesting art pieces.
cri du dragon a la lune.
Le labyrinthe devait etre impressionnant avec toutes ces statues
As you know.....we have real ones in Wales!!!
Very different dragon!This exhibition is wonderful, glad that you enjoy it and thanks for sharing these lovely pictures ( the second one is my favorite composition today).

We returned from Ethiopia last week and while there we saw dragons in many paintings and other decorative motifs, but always under St.George and in the process of being slayed.
Love the dragon!
Good that these pieces were rescued and put on display!
il a du inspiré Mézières comme animal de bat dans les Valérian
impressive!!
How cool that so much has been salvaged from the maze, a glimpse of what life at the palace was like in the 17th century.
What beautiful embellishments. It's great these were not lost over the years.
I'm glad they salvaged this, it would have been a tragic loss.
As I will most likely never get to Europe, I am very much enjoying your palace series.

Love the dragon and its unusual pose. I am sorry to admit that I knew nothing of Francesco Bordoni until today...
That dragon looks nasty.
The dragon shot is excellent. It has kept that bright red for a long, long time.
Every new post you do about the maze sends my imagination off into a fantasy once more Ciel..especially when I read it at almost midnight Perth time :)
