From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vue du Chateau de Versailles Prise du Cote dela Terrasse vis a vis la Chapelle is a 1746 ink by Jean-Baptiste Rigaud, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a grand palace with long rows of windows and a wide courtyard. In front, people in fancy clothes walk, talk, and sit near a pond with fountains. Trees frame the sides, and the sky has soft clouds. The whole scene looks calm and orderly. The title at the bottom says it’s Versailles, a famous royal palace. The artist used lines to create depth, making the buildings look solid. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Rigaud made detailed prints.
