Krátky popis
For the first time ever, Thomas Garnier - official photographer of
the Palace of Versailles - reveals a secret the chateau has
harboured for centuries: its extraordinary beauty when seen from
the air. Versailles seen from the sky is dreamlike. This remarkable
vista was first experienced on 19 September 1783 by the passengers
on board the world’s first hot-air balloon flight: a sheep, a duck
and a chicken.These animals rose up into the sky in front of King
Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, making Versailles a
pioneering location in the conquest of the air. Now, in the 21st
century, the advent of drone cameras makes it possible to soar into
the air and capture an infinity of new perspectives. Everything is
more beautiful when seen from above, and this is particularly true
of Versailles.The view from the sky reveals the geometry of the
different spaces and the genius of their creators, while also
offering a panoramic view of the Estate in all its immensity. The
classical gardens lend themselves so well to aerial views: the
Grand Perspective, the fountains, the intricate parterres, many of
which were plotted out on architectural plans. The wooded groves
seem to take on new forms: the Dome, Colonnade and Obelisk Groves
resemble watch faces on which the channels that feed the fountains
mark out the time, the Chestnut Grove shrouded in snow assumes the
shape of a violin, the Grand Canal at sunset becomes a glowing
ribbon.This book is aimed at anyone who loves Versailles, but
that’s not all. It is also for anyone who would love to take a trip
through the four seasons, a journey that a bird’s-eye view of
Versailles encapsulates beautifully.
