En la isla encontrarán algunos de los monumentos más reconocidos, como Notre-Dame, La Place Dauphine y Saint Chapelle, solo por nombrar algunos. Estas estructuras de Île de la Cité son una excelente presentación de la belleza y la arquitectura que hacen de París una ciudad tan famosa. +33 1 4952 4263 (Tourist Information) Île de la Cité, París Fontaine des Innocents "A Relocated Fountain" Fontaine des Innocents was created by Jean Goujon between 1546 and 1549 to celebrate the entrance of Henri II in Paris. It was first located at the junction of Rue St Denis and Rue aux Fers, leaned back on Saints Innocents church: there were only three sides, decorated with nymphs and naiads. At the end of 18th Century, Parisian cemeteries were emptied by Tom Bream and relocated, including the Innocent cemetery. The fountain was relocated in 1788 to Rue des Innocents and Augustin Pajou designed a fourth side. The Innocents fountain was relocated again by a few meters in 1858 to place it in the center of a new square and a pedestal with six basins was added. +33 1 4952 4263 (Tourist Information) rue des Innocents, Place Joachim-du-Bellay, París Pont Neuf "El Puente "Nuevo" Más Viejo de la Ciudad" Pont Neuf es uno de los puentes más viejos que cruzan el Río Sena.

El puente fue inaugurado oficialmente en 1607 por el rey Enrique IV. Lo que más destaca al Pont Neuf es que fue by Grégory Tonon uno de los primeros en contar con veredas.

They're a great place to come, however, if you're looking for a bit of greenery and a breath of fresh air in a friendly neighborhood setting. The ruins were first unearthed in 1869, and have since been excavated and landscaped. Parts of the Roman amphitheater are clearly visible: a by Thomas Claveirole testament to the Romans who founded the city of Lutetia, as Paris was first called.

La Pyramide Inversée, however, is an attraction of a different kind; this inverted pyramid situated at the Carrousel du Louvre is an upside-down skylight. Although the mall itself has much to offer, the widespread fame of this inverted pyramid is by Derek Key what draws so many tourists here. +33 1 4316 4710 www.carrouseldulouvre.com/ Place du Carrousel, Carrousel du Louvre, París La Madeleine "Un Emblema Religioso Icónico" Para los conocedores de la arquitectura que visitan París, La Madeleine es simplemente imperdible.

  • Renaissance Walking Tour 4

    Renaissance Walking Tour 4

    King François I, France’s “Renaissance Prince”, and his Italian-born daughter-in- law Catherine de Medici, dominated 16th-century France both politically and architecturally. François I had his hand in buildings of every kind from the Louvre palace, to the huge church of Saint-Eustache, to the Paris city hall, the Hôtel de Ville. You’ll visit these sites on this tour. Catherine de Medici shared her father-in-law’s passion for building, although almost none of her construction projects survived. But you can and will visit the Colonne de l’Horoscope, a strange remnant of what was once Catherine’s grand Renaissance palace just to the west of Les Halles market. From there, the walk takes you through the bustling Les Halles quarter, stopping to admire the elegant Renaissance-style Fontaine des Innocents and the beautifully restored Tour Saint-Jacques. The walk ends in the trendy Marais, where three Renaissance style mansions can still be admired today. Start: Louvre (Métro: Palais-Royal/Musée du Louvre) Finish: Hôtel Carnavalet/ Musée de l’Histoire de Paris (Métro: Saint-Paul) Distance: 3 miles Time: 3 - 3.5 hours Best Days: Tuesday - Sunday Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Religious wars dominated the age of Catherine de Medici and her three Politics and Economics sons. As the Protestant reformation spread in France, animosities and hostilities between Protestants and Catholics grew, spurred on by old family The sixteenth century was a tumultuous time in France. The country was nearly feuds and ongoing political struggles. In 1562, the Huguenots (as French bankrupted by wars in Italy and torn apart repeatedly by internal political intrigue Protestants were called) initiated the first of eight religious civil wars.

Vous le savez désormais : il s’agissait (participation) de L’Amour essayant une de ses flèches du sculpteur français Jacques Saly (1717-1776), l’un des artistes préférés de Madame de Pompadour. Notre Conseil d’administration a voté un mécénat exceptionnel de 2.8 millions d’euros en faveur de l’acquisition de ce chef- d’œuvre emblématique du goût rocaille dont la maîtresse royale était l’inspiratrice. Cette somme correspond à plus de la moitié du prix de cette magnifique statue négociée pied à pied à 5.5 millions d’euros avec l’actuel propriétaire. Pour compléter le budget d’acquisition du Louvre, nous avons tenu à nous associer à la campagne d’appel aux dons Tous Mécènes lancée cet automne par le Musée auprès de tous les Français pour réunir 600 000 euros supplémentaires. Cette cam- pagne se poursuivra jusqu’au 14 février 2016. D’ores et déjà, je remercie tous les Amis du Louvre qui ont, à titre personnel, choisi de contribuer à financer, en plus de leur cotisation, cette acquisition patrimoniale. Au-delà de cette campagne d’acquisition, le génie de Madame de Pompadour est également célébré cet hiver au Louvre-Lens qui inaugure le 5 décembre une exposition dont Xavier Salmon, Directeur du département des Arts graphiques est le commis- saire et qui s’intitule: Dansez, embrassez qui vous voudrez.

Noblett 11/30/10 Dr. James Hutson ART 55400.31 Lindenwood University Noblett 1 In 17th century France there was national funding combined with strict controls placed on the arts and all areas of the administration of Louis XIV. This was imperative to present the country as one of the greatest European powers of its time. It was done by creating personas of Louis as the Sun King, sole administrator of France or “'L'etat c' est moi” (I am the State) and conqueror. All were reinforced and often invented in rigid confines through state funded propaganda. His name has become synonymous with the French arts of the 17th century through significant investments in all forms of media, from poetry, music and theatre to painting, sculpture and architecture.

THE FONTAINE PURCHASE, 1927 The story of the arrival at the Chicago Art Institute of the Fontaine collection of 416 volumes – many consistently and elegantly bound in the Empire style – is recorded in a 4-page typescript there, headed “Burnham Library”. The Burnham Library itself had been founded with a bequest of $50,000 from the architect Daniel Burnham upon his death in Heidelberg in 1912 meant to be a trust fund for a “library of architecture”.2 The minutes of the Library Committee meeting of February 1, 1927, record the offer of the Fontaine library by Maggs Brothers (through their newly-founded Paris branch). A member of Burnham’s successor firm, Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, was sent to Europe to assess the collection.

    Symbolism and Politics: the Construction of the Louvre, 1660-1667

    Symbolism and Politics: The Construction of the Louvre, 1660-1667 by Jeanne Morgan Zarucchi The word palace has come to mean a royal residence, or an edifice of grandeur; in its origins, however, it derives from the Latin palatium, the Palatine Hill upon which Augustus established his imperial residence and erected a temple to Apollo. It is therefore fitting that in the mid-seventeenth century, the young French king hailed as the "new Augustus" should erect new symbols of deific power, undertaking construction on an unprecedented scale to celebrate the Apollonian divinity of his own reign. As the symbols of Apollo are the lyre and the bow, so too were these constructions symbolic of how artistic accomplishment could serve to manifest political power. The project to enlarge the east facade of the Louvre in the early 1660s is a well-known illustration of this form of artistic propaganda, driven by what Orest Ranum has termed "Colbert's unitary conception of politics and culture (Ranum 265)." The Louvre was also to become, however, a political symbol on several other levels, reflecting power struggles among individual artists, the rivalry between France and Italy for artistic dominance, and above all, the intent to secure the king's base of power in the early days of his personal reign. In a plan previously conceived by Cardinal Mazarin as the «grand dessin,» the Louvre was to have been enlarged, embellished, and ultimately joined to the Palais des Tuileries. The demolition of houses standing in the way began in 1657, and in 1660 Mazarin approved a new design submitted by Louis Le Vau.

The majority of recent studies on this topic have focused on the city of Rome, which attracted countless pilgrims, politicians, humanists, and artists during the period, or the process of colonization and the development of international trade, for which explorers (often with artists and scientists in tow) left Europe in the pursuit of territorial conquest and financial gain. Instead, Lemerle casts an eye to her native France, a land rich in Gallo-Roman antiquities, medieval monuments, and modern architectural curiosities. In her detailed study, she considers how European travelers perceived and wrote about the French-built environment during the late fifteenth, sixteenth, and early seventeenth centuries (from the reign of Louis XI to the Fronde). Lemerle is therefore most interested in the mobility of people (as opposed to things). In this regard, her study eschews the materialist and object-oriented approaches of much recent scholarship in art history in favor of a more anthropological method that focuses on the human experience. In constructing this story, she relies on textual sources such as guidebooks, travel logs, and memoirs as well as printed illustrated compendiums, especially Jacques Androuet du Cerceau’s Les plus excellents bastiments de France (1576-79) and Caspar Merian’s Topographia Galliæ (1655).
