Versailles - frescoes and paintings

Perhaps the best example of 17th century French art with its magnificent frescoes and paintings. Some of the most beautiful works are in Les Grands Appartements du Roi (the King’s Great Apartments).


Battles scenes abound.


Mercury... the sun god


Beautiful allegories... is this Summer?


Louis as Mercury.
