Dome

Context view, from the southwest, showing island in a canal; Following his accession in 1774, Louis XVI gave the Petit Trianon and its grounds to Marie-Antoinette. These gardens were laid out in the anglo-chinois style: artificial hills, grottoes, rivers and lakes were created, with sinuous footpaths winding among them, revealing in their twists and turns the many charming buildings commissioned by the Queen. On an island in the 'river' stands the Temple de l'Amour, built in 1778 by Mique, with Joseph Deschamps (ca. 1743-1788). Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/ (accessed 2/10/2008)
