Transformed by King Louis XIV from a hunting lodge into one of the most spectacular examples of Baroque art and architecture, the Palace of Versailles was built to stand out and impress. It housed the courts of three kings and oversaw the evolution of at least three different artistic styles. It also is a witness to the fall of the French monarchy. In these four weeks, we look at the history and the causes for the court's move away from Paris, the building of this structure, and at some of the art that fills it, as well as its evolution and its legacy.
