## Commentary

The park setting was of great importance for the further development of palace architecture, since, like the palace, it had a ceremonial function, providing an allegorical representation of events. It was used for entertainment and formed the natural backdrop for the numerous court festivities. The picture shows the Latona fountain with view onto the Grand Canal.
