View of Versailles by Pierre Patel, Musee du Chateau de Versailles, France

Perspective view of Versailles in 1668, oil painting by Pierre Patel, 1605-76, from the Musee du Chateau de Versailles, Versailles, Ile-de-France, France. The painting shows the palace and its gardens as they were in 1668, with most of the gardens laid out but without the chapel (built in 1710) and with much ongoing work. This is one of a series of paintings commissioned by King Louis XIV to present Versailles to the world as a show of wealth and power. Picture by Manuel Cohen
