Diana Lounge, State room in Palace of Versailles, France.

The Diana Lounge features a central ceiling fresco depicting Diana with nocturnal and morning hours, symbolizing hunting and navigation by Gabriel Blanchard.

King Louis XIV commissioned the Diana Lounge decoration in 1671, appointing Charles Le Brun, Gabriel Blanchard, Charles de La Fosse, and Claude Audran II.

The salon ceiling includes paintings of Diana protecting Arethusa and Diana with Actaeon, reflecting French aristocratic interest in Roman mythology.

The Diana Lounge measures 10.34 meters long, 8.70 meters wide, and 7.55 meters high, connecting to the Mars Salon and Venus Salon.

A restoration project starting November 2024 will revive the room's original colors, addressing damage from previous conservation efforts in 1814 and 1955.
