Château de Chambord
In the autumn of 1939, the "Medusa" was packed for removal from the Louvre in anticipation of the outbreak of war. A scenery truck from the Comédie-Française transported the painting to Versailles in the night of 3 September. Some time later, the "Medusa" was moved to the Château de Chambord where it remained until after the end of the Second World War.
