Salon+de+Saturne

Salon de Saturne, translated to The Saturn Lounge, is located in the King's grand apartment in the Palace of Versailles. There are seven rooms located in the King's grand apartment and each of them are dedicated to one of the then known planets and their Roman God. Salon de Saturne's Roman God is the god of agriculture and harvest. The seven rooms in the grand apartment were used for court functions three evenings a week. During the day it was open to the public. The rooms were elaborately decorated with an Italian influence by Charles LeBrun.

Salon de Saturne was built in 1682 with the original construction of the Palace of Versailles. One of the paintings that is located in the Salon de Saturne is of gods and goddess relaxing on clouds with baby cupids flying around. This is a painting that would be interesting to view when visiting the Palace of Versailles. By: Caitlyn Dixon
