Le département des Peintures compte à ce jour environ 6000 tableaux couvrant une période qui va du Moyen Âge jusqu'en 1848. À de rares exceptions près, les œuvres postérieures ont été transférées au musée d'Orsay lors de sa création (1986). Dès 1794, la collection a été répartie par écoles nationales, et cette organisation des collections a des détracteurs. Ainsi les primitifs italiens sont au premier étage, non loin des grands tableaux français de l'école romantique, tandis que les primitifs français sont au second étage, juste à côté de la peinture hollandaise du XVIIe siècle. Mais, quelles que soient les réserves qu'on puisse faire, c'est une succession de chefs-d'œuvre qui défilent devant les yeux des visiteurs.¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤Notable paintings13th to 15th century The Madonna and Christ Child enthroned with angels, Cimabue (about 1270) Saint Francis of Assisi receives the stigmata, Giotto (about 1290 -- 1300) Portrait of John II the Good, anonymous (about 1350).

Visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.Louvre {loov'-ruh} — a French palace and the national art museum of France.Located in Paris, the Louvre is one of the largest palaces in the world and, as a former residence of the kings of France, one of the most illustrious. It exemplifies traditional French architecture since the Renaissance, and it houses a magnificent collection of ancient and Western art.The PalaceThe first Louvre was a fortress built at the beginning of the 13th century by Philip II Augustus to defend the Seine below Paris against the Normans and English. It consisted of a thick cylindrical donjon (dungeon) surrounded by towered walls. This château, enlarged and embellished by Charles V in the 14th century, was sacrificed in the 16th century at the end of the reign of Francis I in order to make room for a new Renaissance structure of the same size. Only the west wing and part of the south wing of the projected palace, conceived by the architect Pierre Lescot and decorated with sculptures by Jean Goujon, were finished.In 1564 Catherine de Médicis had her architect, Philibert Delorme, build a little château in a neighboring field to the west called the Tuileries. It was then decided to create a grandiose royal residence by joining the Louvre and the Palais des Tuileries by a series of buildings. The most important is the Grande Galerie built along the Seine in the reign of Henry IV.In the 17th century Louis XIII and his minister Richelieu extended Lescot's west wing northward by adding the majestically domed Pavillon de l'Horloge (clock pavillion) by Jacques Lemercier and recreating Lescot's building beyond it. Under Louis XIV and his minister Colbert, the Cour Carrée, a great square court, was constructed by Louis Le Vau. The east façade of the east wing was later given a classical colonnade by Le Vau and Claude Perrault. The royal apartments were sumptuously decorated by Charles Le Brun and others, as the Galerie d'Apollon still bears witness. The Louvre was abandoned as a royal residence when Louis XIV moved the court to Versailles in 1682.After the Revolution of 1789, Napoleon I, later kings, and Napoleon III lived in the Tuileries. The Louvre was used for offices and a museum. Along the Rue de Rivoli, Napoleon I began a wing parallel to that of Henry IV along the Seine. Napoleon III finished the wing, thus closing the great quadrilateral.A few years later, during the uprising of the Paris Commune in 1871, the Tuileries was burned. Paradoxically, the disappearance of the Tuileries, which had originally brought about the extension of the Louvre, opened the admirable perspective that now stretches from the Arc du Carrousel west through the Tuileries Gardens and the Place de la Concorde to the Place Charles de Gaulle.In the late 1980s the Louvre embarked upon an aggressive program of renovation and expansion. When the first plans by the Chinese-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei were unveiled in 1984, they included a glass pyramid in the central courtyard that would serve as the museum's main entrance. Despite drawing protests before the fact, since its opening in 1989 the pyramid has proven remarkably effective in accommodating the large numbers of visitors, and has even become a relatively beloved landmark of the city. In November 1993, to mark its 200th anniversary, the museum unveiled the Richelieu wing in the quarters that had been vacated, grudgingly, by the Ministry of Finance in 1989. This expansion, which completed the museum's occupancy of the palace complex, added 230,000 square feet (21,390 sq meters) to the existing 325,000 square feet (30,225 sq meters) of exhibition space, and allowed it to put an additional 12,000 works of art on display in 165 new rooms.For more details visit this web: http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Paris/Museums-Paris/Louvre.shtml [ More Detail ]

http://sonhosvividos.tk/Viagem a Paris de 28 a 31 Outubro de 2004Visita ao Museu do Louvre, Paris, FranceO museu do Louvre, além de possuir uma das mais importantes colecções de arte do mundo, tem uma história que remonta aos tempos medievais. Construído em 1190 para ser a fortaleza do rei Filipe Augusto e proteger Paris dos ataques dos Vikings, perdeu o seu solar e impôs protecção no reinado de Francisco I, que ergueu no lugar um edifício renascentista. Depois dele, quatro séculos de reis e imperadores reformaram e ampliaram a estrutura original. Um acréscimo recente é a pirâmide de vidro no pátio principal, que dá acesso a todas as galerias.Louvre Museum, Paris, FranceOur famous Grand Louvre walking tour begins with a stroll through the commercial area of the Louvre museum. The visit continues inside the museum where our guide presents various areas such as the medieval fortress, the modern pyramid, the Egyptian department and the most reputed works such as the Monna Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.For more information http://sonhosvividos.tksonhos vividos viagem travel journey tour ferias holidays vacation excursion outing camminare viaggiare conducir viajar gaan karren rýden varen reizen перемещение ταξίδι vacances διακοπές праздники días de fiesta [ More Detail ]
