So there she is. Latona with water. Those of you who follow VDP on a regular basis will remember the May posts about the end of the long, long restoration of the gorgeous fountain in the palace gardens. They were here, and also here and finally there. As for the lady before restoration, have a peek here, with links to the mythological and allegorical meaning as well as a video. Below, the view she currently enjoys onto Anish Kapoor's 'Dirty Corner'.
La voici en eau. Ceux d'entre vous qui suivent régulièrement VDP se souviendront des billets du mois de mai, de la fin de la restauration de la très belle fontaine des jardins du château. Ils étaient ici et là ou encore là. Pour la voir avant restauration, en 2011, cliquez ici. Pour l'histoire, l'allégorie, c'est par là !
She looks vey cool, pardon the pun, the view looks fantastic...
ReplyDeleteShe is looking wonderful! I think I find the placement of that Kapoor piece a bit jarring.
ReplyDeleteI love the lady and her fountain. Not so much Kapoor.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking fountain.
ReplyDeleteLike the way you have used the water to frame the central statue. She is a fine looking lady who is caring for her children.
ReplyDeletetrès belle elle ne crains pas la canicule... mais ce "machin" rouillé sur le tapis qui gène la perspective quelle horreur !
ReplyDeletebonnes vacances...à Quimper où à Versailles
Wow. Spectacular renovation. Did I say wow? Wow.
ReplyDeleteSpectacularly refreshing!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite an impressive fountain!
ReplyDeleteRestored to all her former glory, looks fantastic Ciel.. What would Latona think of her present 'temporary' watery view I wonder :)
ReplyDeleteThat fountain is simply spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThe Kapoorless views are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to join her in the fountain today. I'd be wearing a few more clothes, though. ;)
ReplyDeleteSehr erfrischend, genau richtig zu dieser Jahreszeit !
ReplyDeleteThe first photo of Latona with the water shooting over her is quite special!
