La Fontaine de l'Amour is a 1738 by Pierre-Alexandre Aveline, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a small group of people sitting under a tree in a wooded area. One person is holding a scroll, another leans on a staff, and a child plays nearby. In the background, a tall monument with the words "FONTAINE DE L'AMOUR" stands out, surrounded by trees and bushes. The scene looks like a quiet moment in a forest, with the figures dressed in flowing robes. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene feel detailed and alive. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style used drama and movement in art.
