Fontein met triton 1772 - 1773

This etching, "Fontein met triton," was created by Antoine Alexandre Joseph Cardon in 1772-1773. The print depicts a fountain design featuring a triton figure standing atop two sea creatures. The water flows from the mouths of the creatures and cascades down the sides of the fountain, creating a sense of movement and energy. This design exemplifies the Rococo style, which was prevalent in the 18th century, with its emphasis on ornamentation and whimsical details. The print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
