View of the Château de Versailles from the Place d'Armes
Pierre Denis Martin French
The palace is shown here with its three forecourts, enclosed by metal gates, and, at its heart, the King’s Bedchamber. After the 1715 death of his great-grandfather Louis XIV, the five-year-old Louis XV was placed under the tutelage of the regent, who moved the court back to Paris for seven years. Martin represented the hustle and bustle near the royal residence when the young monarch reestablished the court at Versailles.
