Description

Back from a short trip to the Oregon coast, from which i will be posting some photos, but first I'll finish up with two final shots from my Versailles series. This is the Saturn fountain, sculpted by Francois Girardon, one of the principle sculptors employed by Louis XIV for Versailles. According to the official Versailles website, "A faithful servant of the king, Girardon showed how attached he was by dying on the same day as him: on 1 September 1715!" Please zoom...

By the title I was expecting either the car or the planet, but this one is a beautiful surprise in their stead. What a great shot of the great sculpture. I wonder what Girardon had in mind with those cherubs.
