Château Versailles

A Masterpiece in Creativity…

I want to live here! … or clear out all the people and leave me alone to peruse every nook and cranny, hidden hallway, winding staircase…

…Ogle every painted ceiling …

… paintings on the walls … sculptures


                                         … marble wall columns, (are they real or are some faux?)…

… I need time and space to figure this all out … Relax by the spectacular fountains …

… Marvel at the sculptures therein contained …

… I love Versailles!!!! … but, realistically, for those that love art realism …

… beautiful architecture … and beautiful gardens … you could go into overload without a doubt!  If it’s minimalism that you prefer … don’t waste your time here … This is a place of opulence and detailed art … and is it any wonder?…
…Much of Versailles has the stamp of Charles LeBrun on it … A master at his game in the world of art and design …

…and Versailles is a testament to his genius! …
This is also the place where I can hunt out more paintings by my favorite portrait painter – Elizabeth Vigée-LeBrun who did numerous paintings of Marie Antoinette as well as the rest of the Royal Family … she was said to be the queen’s ‘favorite painter’…
… Versailles is only a short train trip away from Paris and a must see for the serious art lover! (sounds like a travel advertisement!!)… and a few more snaps for your view … adieu Versailles, till we meet again…
