Chantilly in History and Art by Luise Richter
"Chantilly in History and Art" by Luise Richter is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the illustrious history and artistic heritage of the Château de Chantilly, exploring its owners such as the Montmorency and Condé families and their significance in French history, particularly during the Renaissance and subsequent periods. At the start of "Chantilly in History and Art," the author reflects on her initial visitto the Château in 1904, where her fascination with its rich artistic collection and historical significance sparked the desire to write about it. The preface sets a personal tone, detailing her awe at the artwork, her interactions with the museum's staff, and her contemplative walks through the tranquil gardens. The opening chapters further detail the Château’s history, beginning with its establishment by Gallo-Roman Cantillius and through its various owners, including the prominent Montmorencys, setting the stage for a broader exploration of its artistic treasures and the figures that shaped its legacy.
