EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Music Room at Versailles, 1696" takes us back to the opulent world of French royalty in the late 17th century. The scene is set in the grand Salon de musique, which served as the fourth chamber of the queen's apartments. In this exquisite print by Antoine Trouvain, we see a gathering of esteemed individuals from high society. Seated and standing around an elegant chandelier-lit room adorned with lavish decorations, they are fully immersed in a musical performance. The musicians skillfully play their instruments – a flute and violin – filling the air with harmonious melodies. Amongst those present are notable figures such as Louis, duc de Bourgogne (known as petit dauphin), Madame Elisabeth Charlotte von der Pfalz (the second wife of Monsieur), Francoise Marie de Bourbon (duchesse de Chartres), Louise Benedicte de Bourbon (duchesse de Maine), and Marie Therese de Bourbon (princesse de Conti). Philippe d'Orleans (duc de Chartres) can also be seen alongside Mademoiselle Elisabeth Charlotte d'Orleans. The fashion of the time is on full display here; both men and women don elaborate wigs while sporting fashionable attire. Intricate lace details adorn their clothing, complemented by stylish hairstyles known as fontanges. A sense of elegance permeates every aspect of this image. "The Music Room at Versailles" captures not only a moment in history but also showcases the splendor and refinement that defined French courtly life during this period. This enchanting print serves as a window into an era where music was cherished among aristocracy and played an integral role in their social gatherings.
