Ancient art
Engraving
Some one hundred prints from the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries allow us to discover Princes' dwellings, royal houses and private castles in the Ile-de-France region. The facades on courtyards and on gardens, the parks, the fountains were the object of attention of the best engravers. Their plates remain to date the rare witnesses of these works of art of the architecture of the Great Century and of that of the century of Lights.
