Grand Salon, in the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, designed by Louis Le Vau, 1612-70, and built 1658-61 for marquis Nicolas Fouquet, in Maincy, Seine-et-Marne, France. The dome was intended to be painted by Charles Le Brun with a giant fresco, The Palace of the Sun, although this was never completed. The caryatids beneath the dome are by Girardon, 1628-1715, representing the months and seasons. The busts of Roman emperors are from Napoleon's collection. The chateau is built in Baroque style, with decoration by Charles Le Brun, 1619-90, and grounds designed by landscape architect Andre le Notre, 1613-1700. The chateau is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
