Chateau Chambord from the Gardens is a 1727 by Jacques Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a large, symmetrical building with many windows and a tall roof. It's surrounded by gardens with people walking around. The building has a big central part with two wings on either side. There are trees in the background. The gardens are very formal, with straight paths and neat flower beds. People are strolling around, some of them looking at the building. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the different parts of the building and the gardens.
