"The Groves of Versailles View of the Amphitheatre and the Water Theatre with Venus Surrounded by the Hours in the Presence of Uranus" is a notable painting by French artist Jean II Cotelle, also known as Jean Cotelle the Younger. Created during the late 17th century, this artwork is part of a series of paintings commissioned by Louis XIV to depict the various groves and fountains of the Gardens of Versailles. Cotelle, who specialized in landscape and garden views, was among several artists entrusted with capturing the grandeur of the royal gardens.

This particular painting showcases the Amphitheatre Grove (also known as the Ballroom Grove) and the Water Theatre Grove, two of the most elaborate and artistic features of the Versailles gardens designed by landscape architect André Le Nôtre. The Amphitheatre Grove, characterized by its terraced seating and cascading water features, served as a venue for courtly entertainments, while the Water Theatre Grove was adorned with numerous fountains and sculptural groups.

Cotelle's work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the opulence and artistic taste of the Sun King's reign. The painting not only captures the architectural and horticultural elements of the groves but also includes allegorical figures, with Venus, the goddess of love, surrounded by the Hours, representing the times of the day, in the presence of Uranus, the personification of the sky. This inclusion of mythological subjects reflects the Baroque era's penchant for blending classical themes with contemporary settings.

The painting is a testament to the grand vision of Louis XIV and his desire to create a garden that exemplified the absolute power and cultural dominance of his monarchy. As part of the Versailles garden tableau series, Cotelle's work contributes to the historical understanding of French garden design and the aesthetics of the Baroque period. It remains an important piece of cultural heritage, offering insight into the artistic endeavors and royal ambitions of 17th-century France.
