Louvre, 1867, Theodor Josef Hubert Hoffbauer, between 1875 and 1882

A view of the louvre from the opposite side of the seine river. During the 19th century, napoléon, who had moved into the tuileries palace, added on to the existing structure. Napoléon iii built the cour napoléon, connecting the tuileries palace to the cour carrée. During the commune of 1871, the tuileries was burned, and the structural remains survived until 1882 when the third republic took apart the ruined palace; only the pavillon de flore and the pavillon de marsan remained. Date: between 1875 and 1882. Dimensions: 24 x 30 cm. Medium: lithograph. Collection: Brown University Library. Louvre, 1867
