Description
The Château de Chambord is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I. The original design of the Château de Chambord is attributed to Italian architect Domenico da Cortona; Leonardo da Vinci may also have been involved or influenced the design. The château features over 400 feet of facade, more than 800 sculpted columns and an elaborately decorated roof. Francois-Antoine Aveline, 18th century (cropped and cleaned).
