Subject: Fountain of Enceladus, Versailles, France

This is a picture of my favorite fountain in the gardens of Versailles. It represents the giant Enceladus who was buried under the rocks of Mt. Etna by Zeus. He is cursing the gods and preparing to hurl a rock (in his right hand) at them. The rollover picture presents a more dramatic view of the fountain, in my opinion. Tom thought it was tippy. As far as I can tell, the central figure has been gilded since we were last there.
