This breathtaking piece captures the elegance of the Versailles gardens during the reign of King Louis XIV and Queen Marie Antoinette. The craftsmanship of the artist Pierre Alexandre Aveline (1702-1760), a French engraver, print-publisher and print-seller, is evident in this fabulous print. This exquisite hand colored antique engraving depicts the Basin of Flowers in Versailles during springtime, during the early 18th Century, prior to the French Revolution. It is truly a lovely print from Aveline's series of finely detailed engravings of French gardens, fountains, and palaces. In this series of views, architectural elements, formal gardens, elaborate fountains, and distant nature are rendered with great care and detail, resulting in a charming and important set of prints produced during a great period in French landscape design. Pierre Aveline's work is held in the collections of the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other prestigious collections.
