The Neptune Fountain, completed in 1681, stands in the gardens of Versailles as a monumental lead sculpture designed by the renowned architects Ange-Jacques Gabriel and André Le Nôtre. This baroque masterwork exemplifies the grandeur and hydraulic ambition of Louis XIV's celebrated palace gardens, its classical imagery of the sea god rising from cascading waters amid the formal landscape.
