Either of a pair of small panoramas associated with a ball commemmorating
the wedding of the Duc de Joyeuse, showing the French court of Henri III.
My slide notes say the paintings are at the Musee National du Chateau de
Versailles, but I feel certain I saw them at the Louvre a few years ago;
maybe part of the same series, maybe copies, maybe they have been moved.
Various of these images are reproduced in a lot of books; one that's easy
to find is Brian Holme's _Princely Feasts and Festivals_. I think one or
both are in Davenport as well.

thanks Robin and Dawn for the info, I've managed to find a very small
version of the French painting
http://www.silesiancramer.com/art/czech/16_wedding.htm but I'll keep looking
for a larger image (it has to be electronic as I am trying to answer a
question on another list) at least I've got one image and I have something
to go on to find the painting.
And Robin's second message has just arrived in my inbox so I've now got a
decent sized image.
thanks
Elizabeth
