Water parterre in Versailles. Autumn by Alexander Benois

Water parterre in Versailles. Autumn by Alexander Benois

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.
