Versailles has long been the consummate symbol of Louis XIV's distinct political and aesthetic influence, the epicenter of French national identity and classical style. Before Versailles, however, Vaux was, the country's artistic capital. This work shows how the connection between Vaux and Versailles is at the heart of classical style.
