Needs improvement

Originally, the fourth and penultimate chapel, the salon d’Hercule occupies the tribune level of this chapel. Initially called the nouveau salon près de la chapelle (new salon near the chapel) when the room was started in 1710 by Robert de Cotte for Louis XIV.

Clarify the first sentence. In trying to deduce what you mean, I conclude that the salon occupies the upper part of what was once a chapel. But that is not what the sentence says.
A really important piece of information: the room was started in 1710 by Robert de Cotte for Louis XIV is included as a clause tagged onto a sentence about the name. Tell the reader clearly when and who in the first paragraph of the introduction.
The whole article needs proprly formatting and inline-referencing. Look up "help" if you don't know how to do it.
Also one ought not label one's own articles as "top-importance", without checking first to find out what sort of articles are actually rated as top-importance articles. One room within a famous building would need to be quite mind-blowingly extraordinary to rate as a "top-importance" article within the entire world of architecture. Top-importance articles on French architecture include topics like French Gothic architecture, French Renaissance architecture and the like. The Palace of Versailles, like the Parthenon is rated top-importance, as one of the world's most significant works of architecture. This does not mean that ever salon within it is rated the same way.

Attribution of the Eliezer and Rebecca painting

According to the sign in the room (visited October 2023), the painting above the fireplace is now considered to be from "School of Veronese", not Veronese himself. (I also found a French website saying "Atelier", which better translates to "Workshop." 146.115.170.4 (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
