Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris

The château of Marly was designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart (1646-1708), great-nephew of François Mansart, one of the originators of the classical tradition in French architecture. The château, begun in 1679 but now destroyed, is known from drawings and engravings. This engraving was made by one of the sons of Pérelle, Nicolas (1625-1692) or Adam (1638-1695).
