Descripción: Ver traducción automática
Illustration showing Le Bassin d'Apollon (The Apollon Pond), a fountain at the Palace of Versailles, France. Charles Le Brun designed the centrepiece depicting the Greek god Apollo rising from the sea in a four-horse chariot. A pond was dug on the site of the fountain in 1639 called "The Pond of the Swans". When King Louis XIV had it enlarged in 1671, the pond's east-west orientation and the common association of the King with Apollo prompted Le Brun to suggest dedicating the site to Apollo. The dawn theme was popular at the time and appears on some painted ceilings in European palaces. The fountain was constructed between 1668 and 1671.
