The most emblematic site of royalty, the Château de Versailles illustrates the glorious history of Louis XIV.
From 1730, Jean-Baptiste Massé commissioned Michel Guillaume Aubert (1700-1757) to create the Grande Galerie de Versailles, an engraved suite of 52 plates of frescoes painted by Charles Le Brun (1619-1690).
The Salon de la Paix features the same décor of marble panels and gilded and chased bronze trophies as the symmetrical Salon de la Guerre. However, Le Brun adorned the dome and voussoirs with the benefits of the peace France has brought to Europe.
