專家說明

These panels have been removed from a villa in the Avenue Tervuren, Brussels.

These reliefs have been modelled on two of the eight nymphs adorning the Fontain des Innocents in Paris, the last Renaissance fountain in Paris.

Designed and sculpted by Jean Goujon, the fountain was created between 1546 and 1549, to celebrate Henri II's arrival. It was built into a wall at the intersection of Rue St. Denis and Rue au Fers (now Rue Berger). In 1788, it was was relocated to the center of the Square des Innocents just south of Les Halles, necessitating the addition of a fourth side, which was carried out by Augustin Pajou.
