Louvre - Élévation de la façade du côté de la rivière - Architecture françoise Tome4 Livre6 Pl11 - Kyoto U

Plate 11. The Louvre in Paris: elevation of the south facade facing the river. From Architecture françoise, Tome 4, Livre 6. For Blondel's discussion of this plate (in French), see p. 54 of tome 4 (at Gallica). According to Robert Berger, this south facade, which replaced Louis Le Vau's previous facade of 1660–1663 (see plate 13), was probably initially designed by Le Vau (Charles Le Brun may have also played a role), but was completed by Claude Perrault with modifications to make it more consistent with the east facade (see plate 7).; Berger, Robert W. (1993). The Palace of the Sun: The Louvre of Louis XIV. University Park: The Pennsylvania State University Press.
