Le Louvre à l’époque romantique

Author(s): Sébastien  Allard

€ 39.55 tax included

This book sheds new light on the historical, artistic and political importance of the decoration of the Louvre commissioned during the Restoration. These “romantic” years, during which Ingres, Delacroix, Delaroche and Scheffer won renown, are an essential key to understanding how the palace was transformed into a museum between the grandeur of the Napoleon Museum and the splendor of the Second Empire.
