Mckenna Form- Masonry Function- To emphasize Louis XIV's importance. Content- The grounds of the garden covered almost 2,500 acres. Context-Was originally king Louis XIV's hunting lodge, but was rebuilt into this grand palace. Tradition- Shows the Baroque style of being very ornate. Interpretation- The hall of mirrors, has 357 mirrors that catch the sun's rays, and are meant to remind us of king Louis' power. Artistic intent- The hall of mirrors is meant to be the showroom of the palace. Audience response- I'm not sure if this would be considered an actual audience response, but in one of the Pokemon games, there is a palace that looks just like this one. The game is based on France, and the palace is called Parfum Palace. The palace has a hall of mirrors, is very ornamentally decorated, and has a large garden just like the Palace of Versailles. I'm not sure if it is actually inspired by the real palace, or if it's just a coincidence, but I thought it was really cool.
