Fontaine d’Amphitrite, Rococo fountain in Place Stanislas, France.

The Fontaine d'Amphitrite features a nude representation of the Greek sea goddess surrounded by marine figures and ornate ironwork decorations.

Barthélemy Guibal created this fountain between 1755 and 1757 as part of the architectural ensemble commissioned by Stanisław Leszczyński, former King of Poland.

The fountain combines classical mythology with French artistic techniques, displaying Neptune and Amphitrite through intricate sculptural work and golden accents.

The fountain stands in the northeast corner of Place Stanislas, offering visitors multiple viewing angles throughout different times of the day.

The original fountain configuration changed in 1771 when lateral sections were removed to create better access to the neighboring Parc de la Pépinière.
