Erected in 1786 in the center of the Place de l'Obélisque, it is part with its embankment of the national domain of the Château de Fontainebleau. It is a reduction of the obelisk in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.
I chose to draw the obelisk because it seemed less complicated to do than all the beautiful things that we admired at the palace. The coordinates are those of the English Garden of the Palace which, at its south-western extremity, makes it possible to see the obelisk.

Érigé en 1786 au centre de la place de l'Obélisque, il fait partie avec son terre-plein du domaine national du château de Fontainebleau. C'est une réduction de l'obélisque sur la place Saint-Pierre au Vatican.
J'ai choisi de dessiner l'obélisque car cela me paraissait moins compliqué à faire que toutes les belles choses que l'on a admirées au château. Les coordonnées sont celles du Jardin Anglais du château qui, à son extrémité sud-ouest, permet de voir l'obélisque.
