Square chamber, decorated with scenes of battles of the Marshall de Villars, at 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 room is decorated in French Renaissance style, with a ceiling a la francaise and a frieze of Roman warriors in a victory parade beneath. In the 19th century Alfred Sommier installed the wooden panelling and 5 paintings of the Marshal's military victories. The room contains 2 oval oak tables, a marble bust of Louis XIV, a portrait of Nicolas Fouquet by Claude Lefebvre, 1632-75, and tapestries of the Story of Diana, c. 1630, made at La Planche and designed by Toussaint Dubreuil. 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
