Anne of Austria’s Bedchamber

262
This royal bedchamber (17th c.) belonged to Anne of Austria, Queen consort of Louis XIII and mother of Louis XIV. The opulent canopy bed, gilded furniture, and crystal chandelier embody the ceremonial life of a queen. Rich tapestries with mythological and allegorical scenes reinforce Fontainebleau’s role as both a political stage and a residence of royal magnificence.
