Description

On the 10th June 1782 the Prince de Conde received the Comte and Comtesse du Nord at Chantilly. Russia's Grand Duke Paul Petrovitch, the future Tsar Paul I, and his Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna were travelling under assumed names, a practice then common amongst rovalty, anxious to escape the burden of 18th century etiquette. A magnificent album was sent to the future Tsar by the Prince de Conde in 1784 as a reminder of his visit. It contained 32 beautifully detailed pen and ink plans, hand-coloured in watercolour, depicting the chateau, pavilions, stables and gardens of Chantilly. In 1930 it was acquired by the Institut de France, owner of the Chateau of Chantilly. L'Album du Comte du Nord is reproduced here in a reduced format, accompained by an introduction and explanation of the plans by Jean-Pierre Babelon. It provides a unique insight into the world of 18th century French aristocracy with its fascinating drawings of the grand interiors and landscaped gardens.
