Marie-Antoinette and the Petit Trianon at Versailles.
DISCUSSION:
By Martin Chapman, et al.
Published by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 2007.
"Published in conjunction with the first U.S. exhibition of paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts from the Petit Trianon-Marie-Antoinette's private retreat on the grounds of Versailles-this catalog tells the colorful story of the chateau from its inception under Louis XV to its heyday as the domain of Louis XVI's queen, who filled it with fine objects and art. The book is illustrated with 152 reproductions, drawings, and photographs of such features as the series of portraits of Marie-Antoinette by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, and the Boudoir of Moving Mirrors, which shuttered the windows to afford the queen complete privacy".
Softcover. 8"x12", 176 pages, color illustrations. Minor wear.
