This print shows the Theatre of Water at Versailles in 1689. It was made by Jean Cotelle during the Baroque era. The scene captures the grand gardens and fountains built for French royalty. Cotelle wasn’t just an artist—he also worked as a designer for the gardens. This print helps us picture how the gardens looked over 300 years ago. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
