Triomfboog uit palmbladeren met Parnassus bij de Fontaine Saint-Germain te Parijs 1662

This 1662 etching by Jean Lepautre depicts a triumphal arch made of palm leaves, with figures representing Parnassus, a mountain sacred to Apollo and the Muses in Greek mythology. The arch, located at the Fontaine Saint-Germain in Paris, is intricately detailed, showcasing Lepautre's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and perspective. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the grand gardens and architectural wonders of 17th-century France.
