Clark, a senator from Montana, in 1926 as part of a bequest that included European art and furniture as well. The Salon Dore originally came from the H6tel de Clermont, located at 69 rue de Varenne in the fashionable seventh arrondissement of the Faubourg Saint-Germain in Paris. Louis XVI ascended the throne in 1774, and the Salon Dore is a conscious expression of the neo­ classical style known by his name. This was the time of the Enlightenment, when the ideals of liberty and democracy were appealing to a large segment of public opinion both in France and in America through the writings of Diderot, Voltaire, and Rousseau. The destinies of the two nations were becoming linked in the common cause of social renewal. The neo-classical style chronicles the artistic response to the Enlightenment. The Salon Dore attests to the cultural ii condition of France at the time America was emerging in part through French encouragement. This paper examines the ornamental decor, the provenance, and the authenticity of the Salon Dore through a careful analysis of archival material, family inventories, personal interviews with curators, original photographs, and a thorough examination of the chronology of the Hotel de Clermont as seen through carefully researched monographs by three French scholars. The conclusion reached is that although recomposed by Senator Clark, the Salon Dore nonetheless illustrates the ideals of neo-classicism. Senator Clark succeeded in capturing an outstanding example of Louis XVI French interior architecture. iii PREFACE The Salon Dore came from the Hotel de Clermont, an hotel particulier located near the Church of the Invalides on the rue de Varenne in Paris. It was designed by Alexandre LeBlond in 1708-1714 in the classical idiom of the time of J. H. Mansart. Fifty years later, in 1768, under the new ownership of the Comte d'Orsay, a young military officer who gained fortune and became a private arts patron of unrivaled scope, the Hotel Clermont underwent a major renovation which was to last twenty years, as the count traveled repeatedly to Italy, returning with paintings and sculpture representing the beau ideal of the Ancients. D'Orsay transformed a boudoir facing the garden into the latest fashion, incorporating the principal decorative elements of Louis XVI who ascended the throne in 1774. This sumptuous room became known as the Grand Salon, and was bought in 1904 by Senator William A. Clark and installed in his townhouse in New York with several modifications. When he bequeathed it to the Corcoran, there were few alterations, and the room now known as the Salon Dord remains an important testament of the neo-classical style associated with the period of Louis XVI. In the Salon Dore, architecture and history blend together to create an interesting story. Newly available archival materials, recent photographs, and personal interviews present new insights into the interpretion of the Salon Dore as it emerges from its fresh restoration. The value of study rests in the testimony the room presents as an authentic representation of the neo-classical ideals of the time. Although not pristine, the room presents the cultural conditions of France when Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin served as ministers in Paris. Jefferson was immensely influenced by the political symbolism of the style, and brought back to America a neo-classicism which was to portray our own republicanism. The State Capitol at Richmond of 1785 was the first neo-classical building in the World.1 "Noble simplicity" had crossed the seas, and it set the style for public buildings in this country, particularly in Washington. 1Personal interview with Dr. Theodore Turak of American University, June 13, 1991. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It has been a pleasure and a joy to research The Salon Dore from the Hdtel de Clermont during the past year both in Washington and in Paris. I should like to thank the individuals who so generously gave both their expertise and time to a student who professes more enthusiasm than scholarship. I am very grateful to Dr. Theodore Turak of The American University for his interest in the idea and for generously sharing his knowledge with me. Hugh Newell Jacobsen, FAIA, stimulated my interest in French architecture of the eighteenth century during his restoration of the Hdtel Talleyrand. I am grateful to the staff at the Corcoran Gallery, particularly to Dare Hartwell, the conservator of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, for her careful reading and useful suggestions throughout. Others who facilitated my research include Barbara Dawson, Cindy Rom, and Julie Solz, and also Barbara Moore and Barbara Mateo, who first introduced me to the Salon Dore when I was a docent. Information concerning the dimensions and decorative details of artworks comes from the Registrar's office. In Paris, I was privileged to discuss the Hotel de Clermont with Robert Carlhian, who worked on the restoration of the interiors at the Hotel Talleyrand; Jean Ferey, author of the magnificent Architecture interieure et decoration en France des oriaines a 1875. Jean-Frangois Mejanes, conservateur au Cabinet des Dessins at the Louvre; and Michel le Moel, Conservateur General aux Archives Nationales. I am grateful to Ambassador and Madame Emmanuel de Margerie for their enthusiastic encouragement. Michel Durafour, Ministre de la Fonction Publique et des Reformes Administratives, very kindly permitted me to photograph the Hotel de Clermont. The Friends of Vieilles Maisons Frangaises both in the United States and in Paris were consistently helpful in their support and personal introductions. I should also like to thank Marina Brachet, President of the Washington Chapter of FVMF, and Nick Martin of the National Gallery for their help in translation and interpretation.

    Louis XIV En Costume De Sacre

    Enseignement de l’Histoire des Arts : ARTS DU VISUEL Louis XIV en costume de sacre par Hyacinthe RIGAUD (1659 - 1743) 1701 – Huile sur toile (H: 277cm – l: 194 cm) Musée du Louvre Janine VITTORI – Conseillère Pédagogique Départementale Arts Visuels – Haute Corse Ce portrait célèbre figure dans tous les manuels d' Histoire du cycle 3 et sans conteste c'est le portrait le plus universellement connu. S'il est indispensable de présenter cette oeuvre aux élèves, il est cependant nécessaire de noter que ce portrait, qui a toutes les caractéristiques d'un portrait officiel n'est pas pour autant très traditionnel. Ce tableau a été réalisé en 1701, l'année où le roi a installé sa chambre exactement au centre du palais de Versailles. Il a été commandé au peintre Hyacinthe Rigaud dans des circonstances un peu particulières: en effet le 1er Octobre 1700 le roi d'Espagne Carlos II, demi-frère de Marie-Thérèse (1638-1683) et d'autre part cousin germain de Louis XIV meurt sans héritier. Il désigne Philippe d'Anjou, le petit-fils de Louis, son petit neveu, comme successeur. Louis XIV accepte ce testament. Le roi de France fait exécuter par Rigaud un portrait de Philippe d'Anjou devenu Felipe V (1683-1746). Philippe demande à son grand-père «de lui donner aussi son portrait peint de la même main». Louis XIV se soumet à plusieurs séances de pose malgré un état de santé précaire. Quand le tableau est achevé il le trouve si parfaitement à son goût qu'il renonce à l'envoyer en Espagne.

They are the work of artists of many nationalities—Italian, French, English, Dutch, Flemish, and German—but all were executed in Rome in the course of the century. The city retained in the 1700's its position as a major artistic center, though outdistanced by Paris for first place. Rome continued to be the city to which artists came to learn, by studying and copying the ruins of Classical Antiquity and the great works of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Papal and princely patronage continued to attract artists from all Europe, but commissions were no longer on the very grand scale of previous centuries. History painting remained a Roman specialty, occupying the highest rank in the hierarchy of painting. Preparatory drawings for major projects by Giuseppe Chiari, Pompeo Batoni, Benedetto Luti, and the Frenchman Pierre Subleyras document this side of Roman production. Sculpture flourished—witness drawings by Pietro Bracci and Camillo Rusconi for important tombs, and Luigi Vanvitelli's designs for the throne of St.
