MAGICAL, swoon worthy... Bless these artisans who dedicate their talents to restoration of these MAGNIFICENT Historic treasures!!!
Vaux-le-Vicomte is my favorite place to visit in France. The scale is human and perfect. Versailles, while beautiful is cold and impersonal
And far too crowded
Upstanding statue in a Magnificent garden!😲
BEAUTIFUL...is an understatement ..
Wow, that place is beautiful
The Hercules detail appears in front of the chapel of Chateau de Versailles too. I think Hercules was the symbol of Louis XIV himself. I'm not sure if he might be possibly Cretan origin, or he found himself from some parts of the character? It is certainly interesting that his chapel in Versailles is called Herculaneum. I also wonder about the golden apple he hides in his hand, is it something to do with the myth of Paris and his judgment on the most beautiful among the three goddesses? The king had a lot of beautiful women around, perhaps it tells us his particular taste/preferences for the beauty and his aesthetics.
Danke! I love Herakles at rest, more of the world needs to know and appreciate this creation from my species.
Simplement merveilleux!!!
José Renato Mamede Oui!
멋찝니다~~
Maybe its the video, but the color of the gold seems off... It now looks like a Jeff Koons...
Who makes the subtitles with so much orthographical faults?
Heracles of Lyssipos
HORROR... IT NEVER EVER WAS MEANT TO LOOK LIKE THIS, BUT LIGHTLY GILT AND SURFACE SCRATCHED TO ACCENTUATE THE SHADOWS AND FEATURES ...ALL STATUES FROM ANTIQUITY ARE LIKE THAT, FOR GOOD REASON, OTHERWISE YOU ONLY SEE REFLECTIONS...
Ahhh. Now guilding is not gaudy. It needs a proper stage!
You really have to laugh at rich people problems... 99% of the people on the planet, are forced to choose if they will buy food for their kids this month or pay the electric bill.
This is why places like this exist....to put a smile on people’s face......
@@sebastientremblay1834...oh, is that why. All this time I thought it was all about social STATUS and showing off to the world how rich and powerful you were and constantly competing with other insanely rich people, to have to most expensive art collection, the biggest palace and gardens designed by the latest designer, etc., etc., but according to you, all this time these self entitled, decadent aristocrats, were only interested in trying to make people smile. (Thanks for sharing your incredibly profound and insightful comment.)
@@iam1ina1000000 Stay bitter and resentful of the successful and mighty. while you mope around and bitch these people restore a beautiful piece of history for the modern eye.
