| "PART OF THE LARGE COMPLEX KNOWN AS THE CHATEAU DE VERSAILLES NORTH OF PARIS, THE HALL OF MIRRORS HAS BEEN THE LOCATION FOR GREAT STATE OCCASIONS. DURING THE REIGN OF LOUIS XIV, THE LIFE OF THE COURTIER WAS ONE OF POWER AND PRESTIGE BUT ALSO THAT OF A GILDED CAGE. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO SHOW THE BUILDING AS A STAGE SET FOR A MASQUERADE IN WHICH ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE REPRESENTED WITH BIRD'S HEADS. THE ACTION PAINTED ON THE CEILING OF THE INTERIOR, VISIBLE ONLY IN REFLECTION, IS A TREAT FOR THE CURIOUS." MARY |
