"Polyphème surprenant Galatée dans les bras d'Acis" is also known as the Fontaine Medicis. It was originally designed back in the 1600s when Marie de Medici, who was the Queen regent for her son King Louis XIII after her husband died, decided to have a palace built and gardens laid out in a style reminiscent of her days in Italy. The Cyclops Polyphemus is in love with Galatea, a nereid, nymph of thesea. She prefers the Sicilians Acis. Polyphemus surprises them to get her and kills his rival by crushing him under a rock. Galatea then changes the blood of Acis into a river bearing his name in Sicily.
