The Fountain of Latone, an exquisite example of Baroque garden sculpture, is situated in the Gardens of Versailles, France. Designed by the French architect and sculptor François Delamonce, this fountain is a testament to the grandeur and artistic ambition of the French Baroque period. Commissioned by King Louis XIV, the Sun King, the fountain was intended to enhance the splendor of the Versailles gardens, which were meticulously designed by landscape architect André Le Nôtre.

The Fountain of Latone is inspired by the mythological tale of Latona (Leto in Greek mythology), the mother of Apollo and Diana. According to the myth, Latona, persecuted by the jealous goddess Juno, wandered the earth with her children in search of water. When she finally found a pond, the local peasants tried to prevent her from drinking. In response, Latona transformed them into frogs. This dramatic narrative is vividly captured in the fountain's design, with Latona and her children depicted in the central sculpture, surrounded by peasants in various stages of metamorphosis into frogs.

The fountain's intricate design features a series of basins that cascade water from one level to the next, creating a dynamic and visually captivating display. The central sculpture of Latona is elevated on a pedestal, emphasizing her divine status and the dramatic nature of the myth. The surrounding figures are arranged in a circular pattern, enhancing the sense of movement and transformation.

The Fountain of Latone is not only a masterpiece of garden sculpture but also a symbol of the power and artistic vision of Louis XIV's reign. It reflects the king's desire to create a garden that was both a work of art and a demonstration of his absolute power. Today, the Fountain of Latone remains one of the most iconic features of the Gardens of Versailles, attracting visitors from around the world who come to marvel at its beauty and historical significance.
