La Fontaine's Study, 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 was originally a bedchamber but is now dedicated to Jean de La Fontaine, writer and poet, 1621-95, friend of Fouquet. On the mantelpiece is a 'doll's head' clock in tortoiseshell brass and pewter made 1670-1700 by Simon Gribelin. A terracotta portrait bust of La Fontaine, 1782, by Jean-Antoine Houdon, sits in front of a 6 panelled woven screen, 1735-40, made at Savonnerie by Jean-Baptiste Oudry and Pierre-Josse Perrot, of 6 of La Fontaine's fables. 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
