Project for a Fête Decor 1775 - 1846

Louis Pierre Baltard's "Project for a Fête Decor" (1775-1846) depicts a fantastical, classical garden scene. The drawing shows a grand, circular structure with columns reminiscent of ancient Greek temples, set against a backdrop of lush greenery and a distant mountain. This architectural design was likely intended for a celebratory event, perhaps a garden party or a grand fête. The meticulous detail and soft watercolor washes contribute to the dreamy atmosphere, capturing the idealized beauty of the Neoclassical era.
