Founded in the final years of the Enlightenment, the Louvre--with
the greatest collection of Old Master paintings and antique
sculpture assembled under one roof--became the model for all state
art museums subsequently established. Andrew McClellan chronicles
the formation of this great museum from its origins in the French
royal picture collections to its apotheosis during the Revolution
and Napoleonic Empire. More than a narrative history, McClellan's
account explores the ideological underpinnings, pedagogic aims, and
aesthetic criteria of the Louvre. Drawing on new archival
materials, McClellan also illuminates the art world of
eighteenth-century Paris.
