Les Grandes Eaux, Versailles

Painting of a fountain at Versailles during the Les Grandes Eaux, with the embossed words: appearance, presence, disappearance, absence — Oil on Canvas, 80 x 56 cm

This painting is a more realistic view of a fountain during the Musical Fountains Show or "Grandes Eaux" at Versailles, combining visual tradition with textual disruption. There is also a more poetic version in which the water from the fountain dissolves in the foliage and architecture here.
