This opulent ceiling is called Apotheosis of Hercules and it was painted by François de Moyne in 1773-36 in the Château de Versailles’ Hercules Salon (salon d’Hercule). The room was a ballroom during the reign of Louis XV. It is just one beautiful example of the paintings, sculptures, period furniture, and gilded statues that will amaze you as you walk through the palace on a self-guided tour accompanied by a headset.
