The Royal Chapel at Versailles is one of the historic palaces’ grandest interior spaces, originally completed in 1710 during the reign of King Louis XIV. This near-contemporary view shows the marvelous Baroque exterior (left) and the somewhat traditional floor plan immediately adjacent. Details about the marble flooring, gold inlay, and lavish furnishing are unfortunately absent. This copperplate engraved print was originally published in Paris around 1720 as part of Nicholas de Fer’s Atlas Curieux.
