 After a fire in the small gallery destroyed much of it on February 6, 1661, it was necessary to rebuild this part of the luminary. Architectural work was entrusted to Louis Le Vau , who carried out the reconstruction activities between 1661 and 1663, while Charles Le Brun was assigned responsibility for decorations by Colbert. The sculptor François Girardon was responsible  of the stucco sculptures. This was the first royal gallery of Louis XIV, which served as a model for the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles .
