Max's mom Irina is at the Hall of Mirrors. Commissioned under Louis XIV, this gallery (1678–84) epitomizes French Baroque grandeur. The interplay of mirrors and windows amplifies natural light, symbolizing royal brilliance. Gilded sculptures and crystal chandeliers exalt the Sun King’s reign, blending architecture, power, and spectacle into a unified vision of absolutist majesty.
