Description

Versailles is among the most photographed places on the planet. Yet masses of tourists make it virtually inconceivable to believe the splendor of the palace as it existed from the time of Louis XIV, the Sun King, within the 17th century, until the fall of Napoleon III in 1870. Now, four talented photographers were granted unlimited get entry to to Versailles when the château used to be closed to visitors, and their work allows privileged get entry to not only to the private suites of Louis XV, the boudoirs of Marie-Antoinette and Madame de Pompadour, the celebrated Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Chapel, the charming Orangerie, and Marie Antoinette’s bucolic Hamlet, but in addition to mysterious chambers and hushed apartments never typically seen. Captions describe day-to-day life at Versailles and the momentous events that have taken place there, all published in a sumptuous oversize format befitting its majestic subject.
