Located between the City Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts, it is dominated by the monumental Bartholdi Fountain, a masterpiece created by the same sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor me, Planète Terreaux has always felt like the spiritual sister of Planète Bellecour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth artworks are deeply connected to the identity of Lyon and required patience before they could finally come to life. In the case of Terreaux, I had to wait nearly two years. Renovation works, multiple visits and countless tests prevented me from achieving the image I had imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI knew exactly what I wanted: the Bartholdi Fountain dominating the centre of the composition while the surrounding architecture reflected around it like a protective crown. The challenge was finding the right balance between the square, the water, the reflections and the unique geometry that would emerge once transformed into a planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the conditions finally aligned, the result exceeded my expectations. The fountain became the heart of a powerful miniature world, while the reflections of the surrounding buildings created an almost organic texture across the surface of the sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, this artwork stands alongside Planète Bellecour as one of the defining pieces of my Lyon collection. Together, they represent two complementary visions of the city: one built around a king, the other around a fountain, both transformed into timeless worlds suspended between reality and imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCollector Order Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork is sold as an unframed and unmounted fine art collector print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice: 900 USD\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 60 × 60 cm\u003cbr\u003ePaper: Hahnemühle German Etching 310 gsm, matte textured archival fine art paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Limited Collector Edition of 300\u003cbr\u003ePrint: Unsigned\u003cbr\u003eFrame \u0026amp; mounting: Not included\u003cbr\u003eCertificate: Digital certificate of authenticity sent by email after purchase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping: Calculated at checkout depending on the collector’s location.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping rates are calculated according to the delivery country selected at checkout.
