This line engraving takes us back to the grandeur of Versailles in 1687. The view from the Palace of Versailles showcases an exquisite avenue lined with majestic trees, leading our gaze towards two stables and ornate gates that guard the entrance to two magnificent courtyards. The image transports us to a time when France was at its peak, under the reign of Louis XIV, known as the Sun King. The baroque architecture of Versailles is on full display, showcasing opulence and extravagance fit for royalty. As we immerse ourselves in this print, we can almost imagine courtiers and people going about their daily lives within these walls. The bustling traffic outside hints at a vibrant atmosphere surrounding this iconic chateau.
