EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century oil painting depicts an iconic view of Paris, with the newly constructed Grande Galerie of the Louvre taking center stage. The grandiose building, designed by Louis XIV's chief architect, Louis Le Vau, is adorned with its magnificent new gate, a symbol of the monarchy's power and prestige. The scene also features the recently built Pont-Neuf bridge, connecting the right and left banks of the Seine, and the bustling cityscape beyond. In the foreground, the College des Quatre-Nations, a Jesuit college under construction, adds to the vibrant urban landscape. The Malaquais quay, located on the left bank, is visible in the background, with its distinctive quay and boats moored along the riverbank. The royal galley, a symbol of the French monarchy's naval power, can be seen on the Seine, adding to the sense of activity and movement in the scene. This painting, created around 1665, provides a fascinating glimpse into Parisian life during the 17th century, a time of significant artistic, cultural, and architectural achievements. The Grande Galerie of the Louvre, which would later become one of the world's most renowned art museums, is shown in its early stages, offering a unique perspective on its transformation into a cultural institution that continues to attract millions of visitors each year. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and Europe, and a reminder of the historical significance of the Louvre as a cultural center and art gallery that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
