Description:
Why has Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles, defining symbol of hedonistic opulence in 17th-century France and synonymous with the notion of the divine right of kings, continued to shape the aesthetics of cultural capital in the centuries since his death?
In Versailles Mirrored, Robert Wellington tracks this enduring fascination with the Sun King's palace through eight case studies spanning the 17th to 21st centuries. The book demonstrates how the extravagant palace style began as a symbol of the state in the 17th century; how it was adopted by the nouveau riche to show off their financial success in the 19th century; and, remarkably, how that palace look returned to play a role in statecraft in the hands of US President Donald Trump. Wellington links the aristocratic architectural traditions of France, England, and Germany to North America through the lens of Versailles, French architecture, and the decorative arts.
Opening with a brief overview of the history of Versailles and the political and cultural motivations of its creation, subsequent chapters address aristocratic buildings in France and Germany built by the Sun King's contemporaries; historicism in the 19th century in Britain, Germany, and America; and the present day, with Trump's buildings and Ch teau Louis XIV, known as the 'world's most expensive home', purchased by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
In uncovering the motivations of those patrons, the book ultimately reveals why Versailles remains a powerful point of reference for those who wish to flaunt their social, cultural, and political capital.

Really good product
Size: Daily Essentials Kit
This is a really good product. I usually hate the oiliness of skincare products, but this one is actually pretty light and fresh. My skin feels great after applying it. If you fall asleep without washing your face it does cause you to break out pretty bad though, especially if you shaved that day. As long as you wash it off at night, it's absolutely great.

Sunscreen full of chemicals
Size: Daily Essentials Kit
The cleanser is good. I did not like that the sunscreen has a lot of chemicals in it. They should use titanium oxide instead.
