EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of Tritons grooming two majestic horses of the sun in the grove of the Baths of Apollo. Created by renowned artists Gaspard Marsy and Balthazar Marsy, this marble sculpture exudes a sense of grace and elegance. The image showcases the intricate details of these mythical creatures as they stand amidst a beautifully groomed garden. The rearing horses are adorned with ornate shells, symbolizing their divine connection to the sea. The statuesque Tritons, half-human and half-fish beings, delicately attend to these celestial steeds. Located at Château de Versailles in France, this masterpiece has stood the test of time since its creation between 1667-72. Its historical significance is further highlighted by Hubert Robert's contribution in designing a new setting for it within the Grotto of Thetis in 1778.

It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these sculptures continue to captivate viewers with their timeless beauty.
