Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
New York, United States
In this view, the highly decorated Galerie des Guises in the Chateau d'Eu is lighted by three large crystal chandeliers and additional wall candelabra. The coffered ceiling in a square pattern reflects the design of the inlaid floor. Portrait paintings of the Renaissance period are placed in panels along the walls. A lone visitor, hat in hand, gazes up at a painting.
