Versailles Castle XVII French Tapestry

Versailles Castle XVII depicts a view of Versailles from the Avenue de Paris (c. 1662) as it looked prior to its expansion by Louis XIV. The design of this jacquard wall tapestry is inspired from a painting by Pierre Patel (1605-1676). This impressive view from Verssailles castle and gardens would be the oldest representation of the abode.
