The Finished Louvre and the New Rue de Rivoli - A Glimpse into Parisian Grandeur
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the magnificence of the completed Louvre and the newly constructed Rue de Rivoli in 19th century Paris. Engraved by Philippe Benoist, this color lithograph showcases the city's architectural prowess during the Second Empire under Louis Napoleon. The image presents a panoramic view that stretches from one side of the River Seine to another, offering a breathtaking vista of iconic landmarks. The majestic Louvre Palace stands proudly on one side, its wings fully realized and exuding an air of regality. On the opposite bank, Pont Neuf gracefully connects Île de la Cité with bustling streets adorned with elegant buildings. One cannot help but be drawn to the completion of Palais de Justice, which adds to the grandeur of this urban landscape. The intricate bridges spanning over River Seine provide a picturesque backdrop for this scene, while adding depth and charm to an already mesmerizing panorama. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Chapuis in his 19th-century artwork, it becomes evident that Paris was truly a city at its zenith during this era. This print serves as a testament not only to remarkable architecture but also to human ingenuity and artistic excellence. Displayed within Musee Carnavalet in Paris itself, this piece transports us back in time and allows us to marvel at an age when beauty met functionality seamlessly on these vibrant streets.
