"Entrance to the Maze 1688-90" is a notable work by the French painter Jean II Cotelle, also known as Jean Cotelle the Younger, who was renowned for his landscape and garden scenes, particularly those depicting the Gardens of Versailles. Created between 1688 and 1690, this painting is part of a series of works commissioned by Louis XIV to decorate the Grand Trianon at Versailles, a retreat away from the formality of the main palace.

The painting captures the intricate design and grandeur of the Versailles gardens, specifically focusing on the entrance to the labyrinth or maze that once existed there. Cotelle's work is characterized by its attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and the inclusion of figures in period attire, which adds life and scale to the scene. The maze at Versailles was an elaborate garden feature, popular during the Baroque period, symbolizing both the control over nature and the delight in its intricacies.

Jean Cotelle was part of a group of artists tasked with depicting the various aspects of the gardens, and his paintings are significant for their historical value as well as their artistic merit. They serve as a visual record of the landscape architecture and horticultural design of one of the most famous gardens in the world during its peak in the late 17th century.

"Entrance to the Maze 1688-90" reflects the grandeur of French classical landscape painting and is an important example of Cotelle's oeuvre. It is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its contribution to the understanding of French garden design and the cultural life at the court of Louis XIV. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the past glories of Versailles and the artistic endeavors that flourished under the Sun King's patronage.
