Reaching its height in France during the rule of Napoleon
Bonaparte, "Empire" represents the late development of a
neoclassicism that had held sway over Europe since the mid 18th
century. Under Napoleon's extraordinary political and aesthetic
influence, the style spread throughout the Continent and the United
States during the early 19th century and came to embody the glory
of the French Empire. Illustrated with a superb collection of
paintings, drawings, watercolours, and 150 full-colour photographs
of projects in France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Russia,
Spain, Sweden, and the United States Madelaine Deschamps's
gracefully written text discusses Empire interior, decorative arts,
architecture, gardens, painting, sculpture, music, literature, and
lifestyle within the political and economic context that so
strongly influenced the development and popularity of the style.
Napoleon's political hegemony may have ended long ago, but the
style he fostered has remained of enduring interest among
architects and designers.
