EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Groves of the Versailles. View of the Fountain of Enceladus with the Feast of Lycaon" by Jean Cotelle, capturing a moment frozen in time from the 17th or 18th century. The painting, measuring an impressive 200x140 cm, is part of a private collection and depicts an enchanting scene within the formal gardens. In this masterpiece, we are transported to a world where nature and art intertwine harmoniously. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent fountain, known as the Fountain of Enceladus, which takes center stage amidst lush greenery. Its grandeur is enhanced by figures surrounding it - some escaping while others bear witness to their impending punishment.

Amidst all this commotion lies a feast - perhaps symbolizing indulgence or excess - where figures engage in animated conversation. Cotelle's mastery shines through his use of light and shadow to create drama and evoke emotion within this rococo-inspired artwork. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as power dynamics, consequences for transgressions, and man's relationship with nature.
