Description: In the Garden of the Sun King- Park of Versailles under Louis XIV (HC,DJ,1st Ed) Condition: Dust jacket in excellent condition with foxing. Book in excellent condition. Inside pages excellent, some tanning with age. This is the first book in English entirely devoted to the architectural and sculptural decorations of the park of Versailles under Louis XIV. The author draws upon and quotes from contemporary sources and documents, so that the voices of the Sun King’s era may speak directly to the modern reader. The result is a deeper insight into one of the key monuments of Western art. As the author concludes: “The total ethos of this garden bespeaks not merely the power and glory of a political reign but also the intellectual depth and refinement of an entire culture.” Book is from the research library of Ivor Noel Hume, a distinguished scholar, author, and former director of the Department of Archaeological Research at Colonial Williamsburg.
