Synopsis
The fascinating and little-known story of the Louvre, from its inception as a humble fortress to its transformation into the palatial residence of the kings of France and then into the world's greatest art museum, In this first full-length history of the Louvre in English, historian James Gardner elegantly traces the evolution of the now legendary museum and the extraordinary objects it displays, from its origin as the site of a clay quarry and a vineyard in the first centuries AD, to a fortress in the Middle Ages, to a royal residence that housed the monarchs of France. In the bloody days of the French Revolution, the building was first opened to the public, and has remained so with occasional interruptions, through the Napoleonic era, the Commune, two world wars, and up to the present. The Louvre thus chronicles the broad sweep of French history through the lens of one of the world's most fascinating buildings and the growth of its unparalleled art collection. Book jacket., The fascinating and little-known story of the Louvre, from its inception as a humble fortress to its transformation into the palatial residence of the kings of France and then into the world's greatest art museum. Some ten million people from all over the world flock to the Louvre each year to enjoy its incomparable art collection. Yet few of them are aware of the remarkable history of that place and of the buildings themselvesa fascinating story that historian James Gardner elegantly chronicles in the first full-length history of the Louvre in English. More than 7,000 years ago, men and women camped on a spot called le Louvre for reasons unknown; a clay quarry and a vineyard supported a society there in the first centuries AD. A thousand years later, King Philippe Auguste of France constructed a fortress there in 1191, just outside the walls of a city far smaller than the Paris we know today. Intended to protect the capital against English soldiers stationed in Normandy, the fortress became a royal residence under Charles V two centuries later, and then the monarchy's principal residence under the great Renaissance king François I in 1546. It remained so until 1682, when Louis XIV moved his entire court to Versailles. Thereafter the fortunes of the Louvre languished until the tumultuous days of the French Revolution when, during the Reign of Terror in 1793, it first opened its doors to display the nation's treasures. Ever sincethrough the Napoleonic era, the Commune, two World Wars, to the presentthe Louvre has been a witness to French history, and expanded to become home to a legendary collection, including such masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, whose often-complicated and mysterious origins form a spectacular narrative that rivals the building's grand stature. Includes a 16-page full-color insert, featuring images illustrating the history of the Louvre, a full-color endpaper map detailing the Louvre's evolution from fortress to museum, and black-and-white images throughout the narrative.
