Last week, VDP was telling you about Marianne, it was here. This is the Marianne sculpture inside the council room of the Préfecture!
La semaine dernière, VDP vous entretenait de Marianne, c'était ici. Voici la Marianne de la salle du conseil de l'hôtel du département / Préfecture.
Very striking. I like the clock a lot, too!
ReplyDeleteIs there a resemblance between the sculpture and the other young lady or is it my imagination...that's quite some plaque that it's set in and a very nice clock as well...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and ornate. What a richly decorated room!
ReplyDeleteA tad too formal for my living room, but very nice. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love that clock too.
ReplyDeleteThe detail is stunning!
ReplyDeleteMarianne is a babe. Yup.
ReplyDeleteWas she modeled on a real person? I know they often are.
ReplyDeleteI like everything in this room!
ReplyDeleteelle me semble sévère cette Marianne !
ReplyDeletethat ceiling though!! and chandeliers!! have a great weekend ciel!
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by the marble Marianne and the clock, it's very unusual, I've never seen anything like it. Can we get some of that fine European fresco action on this side of the pond, I can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully gilded. This is such an elegant building.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful details Ciel, I can see why this is your favourite building in Versailles.
ReplyDeleteThe ceiling is wonderful. I hope all of the visitors to that room appreciate it! (Or even notice it.)
