"Le Théâtre d'Eau" and "Le Bassin de Neptune" are two engravings by the French artist Jacques Rigaud that depict the grandeur of the water features and gardens at the Palace of Versailles in France. Jacques Rigaud (1681–1754) was an accomplished engraver known for his detailed representations of landscapes, architecture, and gardens, particularly those of the French royalty and nobility.

The "Théâtre d'Eau," or Water Theatre, was one of the numerous ornamental fountains and groves designed during the reign of Louis XIV as part of the extensive gardens of Versailles, created by landscape architect André Le Nôtre. The Water Theatre grove, originally designed by Le Nôtre, featured a series of water jets and sculptures that performed a kind of aquatic play for the amusement of the court. Although the original grove was destroyed in the 1770s to make way for a new grove, Rigaud's engravings preserve the visual splendor of this lost feature of the Versailles gardens.

"Le Bassin de Neptune," or Neptune's Fountain, is another prominent feature of the Versailles gardens and is the largest fountain in the complex. It was designed by landscape architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart and sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne. The fountain depicts the god Neptune, accompanied by other mythological figures, all showcasing the power and control over water. Rigaud's engraving captures the fountain in meticulous detail, reflecting the grandiose style and the importance of water displays as symbols of royal power during the reign of Louis XIV.

Jacques Rigaud's engravings are significant as they provide a historical record of the artistic and cultural achievements of the French Baroque period. They are valued not only for their aesthetic qualities but also for their documentary importance, offering insights into the landscape and design preferences of the era. Rigaud's works are held in high esteem by art historians and collectors and continue to be studied for their technical mastery and historical relevance.
