Fountain of AmphitriteBarthélemy Guibal

716
This Rococo fountain (mid-18th c.) forms part of the ornate gates of Place Stanislas. Amphitrite, consort of Poseidon, rises amidst sea creatures, symbolizing oceanic control. The composition, framed by gilded ironwork, celebrates myth and monarchy, reflecting the era's theatricality and artistic grandeur.
