EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene in the grove of the Baths of Apollo at Château de Versailles, France. The image showcases two powerful Tritons diligently grooming two magnificent horses of the sun. Created by renowned artists Gaspard Marsy (1624-81) and Balthazar Marsy (1628-74), this marble sculpture is a true masterpiece. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as these mythical creatures tend to their equine companions amidst a lush garden setting. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every muscle and sinew expertly carved into the stone. The statues stand tall, rearing on their hind legs, symbolizing strength and grace. In 1778, painter Hubert Robert was inspired by this enchanting sight and immortalized it on canvas. This photograph from 1930 by Giraudon Studio beautifully preserves that moment for us to admire today. The presence of sea horses adds an element of fantasy to the scene while shells scattered around hint at its maritime origins. Thetys, the Greek goddess associated with water, overlooks this harmonious group as they go about their tasks. Displayed in Inha Park since 1733 until 1808 when it found its permanent home at Château de Versailles, this statue continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the serene atmosphere created by
