EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent figure of a sphinx in pristine white marble, elegantly carrying a bronze Cupid atop its back. The sculpture is located at the iconic Palace of Versailles, dating back to 1676. This masterpiece was created by Louis Lerambert, an esteemed sculptor of his time. The photograph captures the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this monumental piece. The sphinx's serene expression and graceful posture exude an air of mystery and allure. Its smooth marble surface contrasts beautifully with the contrasting patina of the bronze Cupid perched upon it. Displayed within the grand gardens of Versailles, this sculpture adds to the enchanting atmosphere that permeates throughout this historic site. Positioned on a plinth, it stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and timeless beauty. This stunning image is part of The Stapleton Collection, preserved in private ownership for generations. It offers viewers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance embodied by Versailles' garden statuary. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this moment in time through their high-quality engraving reproduction from Vues et Plans de Versailles published between 1676-89 by Jean Lepautre. As we admire this remarkable work, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical value as an enduring symbol of artistry and elegance.
