Hercules antechamber, 1 of 4 rooms in Nicolas Fouquet's private apartment, 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 on the theme of Hercules, symbolising the power and success of Fouquet. The bronze sculptures are by Antoine-Louis Barye and the painting on the left is Hagar Driven Away by Abraham by Lazzaro Baldi, 1624-1703. On the right is a portrait of the Marshal of Luxembourg, 1628-95. The walls are decorated with tapestries and paintings and the painted ceiling tells stories of Hercules. 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
