View from the Artist no. 15

Image of View from the Artist no. 15

 

It's Friday, and there's not much news, so time I think for a round of View from the Artist. Can you guess what the view is, who painted it, and when? No prizes alas, just for fun.

Update - a most esteemed reader from France was the first to nail it:

Clearly, the view n° 15 is representing the Palace of Fontainebleau (you can recognize the "Cour ovale" which is not so changed since the time it was painted). As for the painter, I think it is by Martin-Pierre Denis, and for the time, the beginning of the 18th century.
