Yet few of them are aware of the remarkable history of that place and of the buildings themselves-a 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 palace 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 since-through the Napoleonic era, the Commune, two World Wars, to the present-the 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 enliven a colorful narrative that rivals the building's grand stature"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000945701 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000945701 61020 $$aMusée du Louvre$$xHistory. 000945701 61020 $$aLouvre (Paris, France)$$xHistory. 000945701 651_0 $$aParis (France)$$xBuildings, structures, etc. 000945701 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGardner, James, 1960-$$tLouvre.$$bFirst edition.$$dNew York : Atlantic Monthly Press, [2020]$$z9780802148773$$w(DLC) 2020010112$$w(OCoLC)1124337754 000945701 85280 $$bebk$$heBooks on EBSCOhost 000945701 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2632932$$zOnline Access 000945701 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:945701$$pGLOBAL_SET 000945701 980__ $$aEBOOK 000945701 980__ $$aBIB 000945701 982__ $$aEbook 000945701 983__ $$aOnline
