Nuit des musées 2012: plafond de la galerie des glaces

A detail of the ceiling of the hall of mirrors with its special lighting effects! The online convertor tells me that 1000 m² are 10763.910 ft². We owe this beauty to Charles Le Brun and painters of his atelier. Approximately half of the ceiling is made of maroufleed canvases.

Bon, d'accord, c'est juste un détail ! Presque 1000 m² que nous devons à Charles Le Brun et à son atelier. Une bonne moitié de ce plafond est constituée de toiles marouflées.

    It's the colorful lighting that makes this so special. They should do this more often so that more people could see the museum in this way! :)
