Versailles: Absolutism and Harmony - Hardcover
When built, the world of Versailles seemed so grandiose that guides and descriptions appeared from the very first years of its construction. This perfect expression of absolute monarchy, every detail of which was overseen by Lois XIV, became the model for European royal palaces thereafter.Full-color photographs taken throughout the year reflect the beauty of Versailles in all four seasons; included are the newly restored rooms of what were the personal headquarters of the monarch. While stunningly beautiful, this book boasts an important text by the world's leading experts, who introduce new and important scholarship to a subject that remains endlessly fascinating to every visitor to France.
