Chateau of Berny from the Gardens is a 1727 by Jacques Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a grand chateau with a large garden and a fountain in the center. The chateau has many windows and a tall roof with chimneys. People are walking around the garden, and some are sitting on the ground. In the foreground, there's a big pool of water with a fountain spraying up. The sky above is cloudy, and there are trees lining the garden. The painting is done in a style that makes the light and dark areas look very different, which is called chiaroscuro.
