Handsomely designed and richly illustrated, this publication
surveys the magnificent spectrum of projects undertaken by French
architect and interior designer Charles Percier (1764-1838). After
gaining an illustrious reputation for supervising the scenery at
the Paris Opera during the French Revolution, Percier was later
appointed by Napoleon Bonaparte. With the Emperor's support, he
developed the opulent versions of neoclassicism closely associated
with the Napoleonic era, and now known as Directoire style and
Empire style. Percier worked on the renovation or redecoration of
many of France's royal palaces, including the Louvre, the
Tuileries, and the chateaux of Malmaison, Saint-Cloud, and
Fontainebleau. The full scope and variety of Percier's design
projects are revealed in this book, which also includes archival
material detailing Percier's relationships with patrons and peers.
