专家说明

Charles de Beistegui (d.1970), the legendary bon vivant, bought the 19th century château de Groussay in 1939. The heir to a Mexican silver fortune, Beistegui had a flair for the theatrical and in collaboration with the Cuban-born architect Emilio Terry (1890-1969), and his assistant Michel de Bros designed elaborately themed rooms and garden follies in grand neo-classical style.

The Théâtre de Verdue was a concept created by Beistegui and realised by Emilio Terry in 1963. The concept was chronicled in watercolour by the Russian artist Alexandre Serebriakoff (d.1994) who spent many years at Groussay either painting different rooms or realising Beistegui's neo-classical style in watercolours.
