Bas-relief from The Fontaine des Innocents

The Fountain des Innocents is a public monument situated in Les Halles district in Paris. It was originally called The Fountain of the Nymphs and it was built between 1547 and 1550 in the new style of the French Renaissance. This is recognized as the oldest monumental fountain in Paris. This fountain was built as a commemorative piece honouring Henry II. It was meant to be only temporary and to be installed for a procession but once the procession had passed it was kept as a communal fountain for the citizens. This particular piece depicts the nymphs on the side of the fountain.无辜者喷泉（Fountain des Innocents）是坐落于巴黎雷阿勒街区（Les Halles）的公共纪念建筑。其最初名为宁芙喷泉（Fountain of the Nymphs），于1547年至1550年间以法国文艺复兴新风格建造，被公认为巴黎现存最古老的纪念性喷泉。该喷泉为纪念亨利二世（Henry II）而打造，原本仅为临时搭建的游行纪念装置，游行结束后被保留为面向市民的公共饮水喷泉。这件作品以喷泉侧壁的宁芙形象作为装饰主题。
