Description
|
|
|
|
From the time Louis XIV turned his father's small château into the grandest and most ornate palace in France, Versailles served as a theatrical stage, posits art historian Pascal Bonafoux. Taking the metaphor of theater as a theme, this book observes the splendor of Versailles and also takes the reader behind the facade to explore the back stairs, hidden rooms, and secret workings of such features as the elaborate fountains in the Basin of Leto and the small theater built for Marie Antoinette at the Trianon. Captioned color photographs and reproductions of period art appear on virtually every two-page spread.
