Palace of Versailles, France. Louis XIII built a simple hunting lodge on the site of the Palace of Versailles in 1623. With his passing came Louis XIV who expanded the château into the beginnings of a palace that went through several changes and phases from 1661 to 1715. It was a favorite residence for both kings, and in 1682, Louis XIV moved the seat of his court and government to Versailles, making the palace the de facto capital of France. This state of affairs was continued by Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, who primarily made interior alterations to the palace, but in 1789 the royal family and capital of France returned to Paris.. Napoleon I, following his coronation, used Versailles as a summer residence from 1810 to 1814. Good contrast and tonality. 8 x 10.75 in. 21 x 27.5 cm. Rev: The cemetery of Père Lachaise opened in 1804[3] and takes its name from the confessor to Louis XIV, Père François de la Chaise (1624–1709), who lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt during 1682 on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the hillside from which the king watched skirmishing between the armies of the Condé and Turenne during the Fronde, was bought by the city in 1804. Established as a cemetery by Napoleon during that year, plans were laid out by Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart; the property was later extended. It is the largest cemetery in Paris, France (44 hectares or 110 acres) and it is the most visited necropolis in the world. Notable figures in the arts are buried at Père Lachaise. Fair to good contrast and tonality. 8.25 x 10.75 in. 21 x 27.5 cm.
