In this picture there is no trace of the playfulness of rococo. In this picture, the image of nature, artificially created by the hand of man – genuine majesty and charm.
In the mirror of the reservoir, the boundless sky reflects, desertedness and desolation of the parterre park strange revival of bronze statues; in the humid autumn landscape there is a mood of sublime sadness, meditative contemplation.
