| Description |  |
The Colonnade, as it was renamed, originally featured 32 arches and 31 fountains - a single jet of water splashed into a basin center under the arch. In 1704, three additional entrances to the Colonnade were added, which reduced the number of fountains from 31 to 28. The statue that currently occupies the center of the Colonnade - the Abduction of Persephone - (from the Grande Commande of 1664) was set in place in 1696 (Marie 1968, 1972, 1976, 1984; Thompson 2006; Verlet 1985). |
