Chateau Chantilly is a 1725 by Jacques Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a grand castle with tall windows and domes, sitting behind a wide, neat garden. In front, people in old-fashioned clothes walk, talk, and play near flower beds and fountains. Two big trees frame the scene, and the sky above is light with soft clouds. The title at the bottom says it’s the *Château de Chantilly*, a real palace in France. The people look like they’re enjoying a sunny day in a carefully planned garden. Want to know more? Check out the Baroque movement.
