The Hisatory of Le Louvre
Since 12th century The Louvre has
dominated central Paris. Built on the city's western edge, the building was gradually
surrounded by the growing city. The Louvre was originally a dark fortress but was
transformed into the palace of the Sun King Louis XIV, into the museum that has
occupied it since 1793.
During the reign of Phillippe Auguste,
between 1180-1223, the power of French monarchy had grown, and in 1190 a
defensive wall was built around Paris to protect it from the Anglo-Norman
threat. However, the King decided to reinforce the wall with a fortress, built
to the west of the city, on the banks of the Seine, which came to be known as
the Louvre.
After the demolition of the Grosse Tour the
beginning of a new phase of building work that would continue through to the
reign of Louis XIV. The transformation of François I’s château continued under
Henri II and his sons. However, the construction of the Tuileries palace some
500 meters to the west led to a rethinking of the site. There were ambitious plans
to link the two buildings completed in the creation of the GraThe reigns of Louis XIII and Louis
XIV had a major impact on the Louvre and Tuileries palaces.
The extension of the west wing of the Cour
Carrée under Louis XIII marked the beginning of an ambitious program of work
that would be completed by Louis XIV and added to by Louis XV, resulting in the
Louvre that we see today. However, following the completion of Versailles,
royal interest in the palace decreased, plunging the Louvre into a new period
of dormancy. With the Revolution, the Louvre entered a phase of intensive
transformation.
For three years, Louis XVI lived in the Tuileries
palace, alongside the Convention Nationale. In 1793 the Museum Central des Arts
opened to the public in the Grande Galerie and the Salon Carré, from where the
collections gradually spread to take over the building. Anne of Austria’s
apartments housed the antique sculpture galleries, and further rooms and
exhibition spaces were opened under Charles X.
