Une fontaine de pierre est dominée par la statue d’Amphitrite, épouse de Poséidon, dieu de la mer dans la mythologie grecque. Reposant sur un lit de coques, de roches et de fruits, elle tient dans sa main droite ce qui ressemble à une harpe. La fontaine est installée sous une immense verrière reflétée par le bassin de marbre noir d’où coule un mince filet d’eau comme une nappe transparente.

La sculpture est l’oeuvre du sculpteur français Dieudonné-Barthélémy Guibal (1699-1757). À l’origine, elle couronnait une fontaine à Saint-Mihiel, dans la Meuse, en France.

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

A stone fountain is dominated by the statue of Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon, god of the sea in Greek mythology. Lying on a bed of seashells, rocks and fruit, she holds what seems to be a harp in her left hand. The fountain is installed under a large glass roof, reflected in the black marble basin from which flows a thin film of water, like a transparent tablecloth. The sculpture is the work of the French sculptor Dieudonné-Barthélemy Guibal (1699-1757). Originally it crowned a fountain in Saint-Mihiel, in the Meuse department of France.
