In the late 1600’s many artists known still today were completing many creative art pieces. One of many great artists were designers Louis Le Vau and Jules Hardouin Mansart who created a remarkable Palace of Versailles including a hall known as the Hall of Mirrors, which was designed in an entry of a palace known as the Palace of Versailles. This hall, of all the rooms is the most famous and is nearly 240 feet long. It was a place for intricate occasions and many important events. As a matter of fact, the treaty in which ended World War II was signed here.
The Hall of Mirrors consists of mirrors, sculptures, paintings and great architecture of grand scale. There are gold sculptures on each side of the hall of people holding up light fixtures. There are also magnificent chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. This painting is very moving. It makes our eyes concentrate on all the objects that are portrayed in this painting in which there is so much to look at. The walls are built completely of marble and are lined with seventeen mirrors facing seventeen windows overlooking the outside gardens. Each arc contains twenty-one mirrors, which adds up to 357 mirrors in all. For the floor, it is coated with remarkable oak wood. Famous painter Le Brun can take credit for most of the paintings for he painted the glorious arcs within the hall.
Still to this day, tours are scheduled throughout the palace to display the unbelievable creations people were able to obtain many decades ago.
