"Vaux Le Vicomte" is an oil painting by the American artist Walter Gay (1856–1937), who was known for his interior scenes and depictions of opulent European estates. The painting captures the grandeur of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, a baroque French château located in Maincy, near Melun, in the Seine-et-Marne département of France.

Constructed from 1658 to 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is an important precursor to the Palace of Versailles. The château and its grounds were designed by a team of the era's most esteemed artists: architect Louis Le Vau, painter Charles Le Brun, and landscape designer André le Nôtre. Their collaboration marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design, and landscape design.

Walter Gay's work, "Vaux Le Vicomte," is a testament to his fascination with the French aristocracy's lifestyle and his skill in capturing the essence of their living spaces. The painting is likely to depict one of the château's lavish rooms or a view of its famous gardens, reflecting Gay's attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures and opulence of such interiors. His paintings often exhibit a soft, diffused light, which enhances the romantic and serene atmosphere of the scenes.

Gay's paintings are held in high regard and can be found in various museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. "Vaux Le Vicomte" would be a significant piece within his oeuvre, exemplifying his contribution to the genre of interior painting and his enduring interest in the beauty of French heritage.

As an artist who spent much of his life in France, Walter Gay received the Legion of Honor in 1926, and his works continue to be appreciated for their historical value and artistic beauty. "Vaux Le Vicomte" represents not only a moment in the history of French architecture but also the legacy of an American artist deeply influenced by the culture and aesthetics of his adopted country.
