This engravingA print made from a metal plate that has had a design cut into it with a sharp point. Ink is smeared over the plate and then wiped off, the ink remaining in the etched lines being transferred when the plate is pressed very firmly onto a sheet of paper. from the book known as the Petit Marot shows the château of Richelieu (Indre-et-Loire) from the garden side. It gives an idea of the general character of the ensembleA combining of several media grouped together to form a composite art work. Chapels were among the most notable Renaissance ensembles, sometimes combining panel painting, fresco, sculpture, and architecture., with the buildings of the office block in front of the château itself disappearing into the distance on the left. The château was designed by Jacques Lemercier (1585-1654), its construction begun in 1631 and demolished in 1805.
