Versailles, Fountain of Triumphant France, 1904. Creator: Eugene Atget (French, 1857-1927)
Versailles, Fountain of Triumphant France, 1904. From 1901 until his death in 1927, Atget devoted much of his time to documenting chateaus and parks in and around Paris. Initially and most frequently, he was attracted to the gardens of Versailles, first working there until 1906. This intriguing detail of the Fountain of Triumphant France isolates two of its three allegorical figures: the seated representation of the French Empire behind Jean-Baptiste Tubis sculpture denoting Spain. The fountain was commissioned by Louis XIV to celebrate the French victory over Spain and Holland. The sharply focused composition filled with decorative and sculptural details is typical of Atgets early photographs, which he understood to be " documents for artists" --raw material for painters, sculptors, stage designers, and craftsmen
