Abstract
This article focuses on the pictorial decoration of one of the principal rooms of the Petits Cabinets du Roi at Versailles. The Gallery, embellished with nine paintings of exotic hunts, brought together the talents of the painters Nicolas Lancret, Jean-Baptiste Pater, Francois Boucher, Carle Vanloo, Charles Parrocel, and Jean-Francois de Troy. The study traces some of the iconographic sources of the series to works by Rubens, Johannes Stradanus, Antonio Tempesta, and Bartolomeus van Lochom. Although each painting reflects the individual character and style of its author, the ensemble possesses continuity and visual harmony. It stands as an important monument to the taste of Louis XV.
