Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the architectural style that flourished in France under the reign of Louis XIV, from 1643 to 1715, and the social, artistic, and intellectual context in which it developed. The author examines the influence of the monarchy, the French Academy, and the broader Baroque and Palladian movements on the formation of this distinctive style. Key figures in this transformation, such as architects François Mansart, Louis Le Vau, and Charles Le Brun, are discussed as their contributions coalesced into a new approach to design and decoration. This book offers valuable insights into how the convergence of artistic and political aspirations shaped the visual language of an era, creating iconic structures like the Palace of Versailles and leaving a lasting legacy on French architecture.
