EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene in the grove of the Baths of Apollo. Created by renowned sculptors Gaspard Marsy and Balthazar Marsy, this masterpiece titled "Tritons grooming two horses of the sun" transports us to a world filled with mythical beauty. In this enchanting composition, we witness two Tritons, half-human and half-fish creatures from Greek mythology, meticulously tending to two majestic horses. The setting is adorned with stunning marble sculptures that add an air of elegance and grandeur. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable. Each strand of hair on the Tritons' bodies seems to come alive as they carefully groom these celestial steeds. The horses themselves exude power and grace, their muscular forms beautifully captured in stone. Originally designed for the Grotto of Thetis at Château de Versailles, this sculpture group has stood the test of time since its creation between 1667-72. Its significance is further highlighted by Hubert Robert's later involvement in designing a new setting for it in 1778. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a realm where myth intertwines with reality. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient legends and our eternal quest for beauty and harmony within nature's embrace.
