Joy

This bus sculpted by Jean Baptiste Tuby represents Joy. Jean-Baptiste Tuby is considered one of the most successful sculptors of the French Baroque, known for his adeptness in creating works featuring mythological and allegorical subjects. He was also one of Louis XIV's favorite sculptors at the Palace of Versailles, where he was responsible for producing large quantities of its decorative sculpture and monuments. Tuby, who was first considered a decorative artist, received part of his training at the Gobelins tapestry factory under the supervision of Charles Le Brun, who would later become his artistic director at Versailles. During his post, Tuby worked closely with his peers and fellow court artists Francois Giradrdon and Antoine Coyzevox, collaborating with the latter to create one of his best-known works, the Tomb of Mazarin (1692).   (text credit)

这座由让-巴蒂斯特·蒂比（Jean Baptiste Tuby）创作的雕塑作品象征着欢乐。让-巴蒂斯特·蒂比被认为是法国巴洛克时期最杰出的雕塑家之一，以擅长创作神话与寓言主题的艺术作品而闻名。他亦是路易十四（Louis XIV）在凡尔赛宫最器重的雕塑家之一，负责为凡尔赛宫创作了大量装饰性雕塑与纪念性作品。蒂比最初被归类为装饰艺术家，曾在戈布兰挂毯厂（Gobelins tapestry factory）于夏尔·勒布伦（Charles Le Brun）的指导下接受部分训练，后者后来成为他在凡尔赛宫的艺术总监。任职凡尔赛宫期间，蒂比与同僚及宫廷艺术家弗朗索瓦·吉拉尔东（François Girardon）、安托万·科伊塞沃克斯（Antoine Coysevox）密切合作，其中与后者联手创作了其最知名的作品之一《马扎兰之墓》（Tomb of Mazarin，1692年）。（文本标注）
