: The Palais de Luxembourg was begun in 1615 by Salomon de Brosse, to provide a home for Marie de Medicis on the majority of Louis XIII. The Chambre, a suite of rooms comprising her library, bedroom and oratory, shared the building's Italian flavour; as Dedaux comments, the decoration of the Chambre is similar to 'des celebres arabesques du Vatican' (p. 2). At the time of the publication of this account, the building had been through as many vicissitudes as the monarchy. After the restoration of Louis XVIII - and after all decoration contributing to the glory of Napoleon had been removed - it housed the Chamber of Peers; and during the July Monarchy it was open to the public t a limited extent. This account certainly seems designed to stimulate the interest of connoisseurs in the original building, at a time when restorations and enlargements to it were being planned. The BM Cat. includes a German edition (Zimmer der Maria von Medici im Palast Luxenburg zu Paris. ... mit Text von Ferd. Luthmer, Berlin, Ernst Wasmuth, 1877 (1735.c.17)), with the captions on the plates changed to German.
