Abstract (en)
Interprets the themes of several fountains in the gardens at Versailles, including the Fountain of Latona, 1668-1670, as enigmas and practical jokes seen in light of games played at the court. Argues that they were intended to convey messages which for reasons of decorum could not be explicit.
