Description

Book Synopsis
Versailles has long been the consummate symbol of Louis XIV's distinct political and aesthetic influence, the epicenter of French national identity and classical style. Before Versailles, however, Vaux was, the country's artistic capital. This work shows how the connection between Vaux and Versailles is at the heart of classical style.

Trade Review
"Seductively elegant. . . . Its form carries the virtue of expanding the scope of studies of classical France. Seventeenth-century French studies need the kind of approach and method that [Vaux and Versailles] embodies." * Tom Conley, Harvard University *
