The Queen's Bedchamber, The Queen's Suite (Grand Appartement de la Reine) Artist: Unknown

The Queen's Bedchamber, The Queen's Suite (Grand Appartement de la Reine), Chateau de Versailles, France. The Rococo-style woodwork, as well as the ceiling painting by François Boucher (1703-1770) were commissioned around 1730 by Louis XV in order to please his wife, Maria Leszczinska. Marie-Antoinette found this terribly old-fashioned, and decided to replace all the furnishings, notably commissioning silk hangings woven in patterns of lilacs and peacock feathers, garnishing the alcove and the enormous four-poster bed (restored in 1976).
