Nephew of Mansart, Jules Hardouin Mansart is responsable
the construction of the Chapel
of the Invalids: a Greek cross, with chapels at the corners, and a
big dome which houses a black marble altar similar to the one in Val de
Grace.
At Versailles he designs the chapel, the "orangerie", and the Gallery of Mirrors, a long hall with 17 windows paired by 17 mirrors, the later separated by red marble pillars with golden base. |
