VERSAILLES. – Apollo’s Chariot Fountain was lifted from its base in the sumptuous gardens of the Palace of Versailles ahead of an 18-month restoration of the gilded lead sculpture celebrating the Greek god.
It is the first time the iconic artwork by Jean-Baptiste Tuby has been removed from its basin since it was placed there in 1671 during the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King.
Until now, restoration work had been limited to its surface.
