"The Pyramide du Louvre"

Text & Photos by Bruce Hamilton, AIA

With all of Paris, France's "must

see" attractions, it's difficult to narrow down which amazing sites to explore while maintaining a diverse experience of the beautiful city. Our tour group selected the crème de la crème of the city, the ultimate travelers prize -the Louvre

Museum.

Commissioned by President of

France, François Metterrand in

1984, the Louvre Pyramid

(Pyramide du Louvre) located in

Paris, France is a large glass and

metal pyramid designed by

Chinese-American Architect I.M. Pei,

surrounded by smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoleon) of the

Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in

Paris. The large pyramid serves as the

main entrance to the Louvre Museum.

The Louvre is constructed entirely with

glass segments and metal poles, reaching a height of 71 feet. The square base sides are 112 feet and a base surface area of 11,000 square feet. It consists of

603 rhombus-shaped and 70 triangular

glass segments.

Visitors entering through the pyramid

descend into the spacious lobby then re- ascend into the main Louvre building. I.M. Pei's plan distributes people effectively from the concourse to myriad destinations within its vast subterranean network...the architectonic framework evokes, on enormous scale, an ancient Atrium da

Pompeiian villa; by the treatment of

the opening above, with its tracery of engineered casting and cables.

Our three-hour journey through

some of the world's greatest artistic ptreasures began at the Arc du

Carrousel, next to the Louvre

Entrance. After spending several

hours with our local tour guide, viewing and learning about some of the museum's 35,000 artworks across eight themed galleries, we

enjoyed time on our own to explore paintings, sculptures and architecture from

450 BC to the 19

th

Century. Our tour

group wandered the diverse exhibits, starting with the Ancient Greek Parthenon, followed by the iconic Venus de Milo.

While in the ancient antiquities gallery, we

viewed the Celebrated Winged Victory of

Samothrace. We then headed to the

Apollo Gallery to see the opulent royal

crowns of Napoleon and King Louis XV.

We were able to get a taste of the French

Revolution with Delacroix's painting

"Liberty Leading the People" -a celebration of the 1830 revolution designed as a political poster and in the Italian Renaissance to view the work of Michelangelo and Da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

The Louvre's galleries are displayed

across 652,300 square feet. The galleries are divided into eight departments:

Egyptian Antiquities

Sculptures

Near East Antiquities

Decorative Arts

Greek, Etruscan and Roman

Antiquities

Paintings

Islamic Art

Prints and Drawings

The Louvre - the very name conjures up

scenes of art and elegance. The long halls filled with beauty and people strolling through them whispering quietly amongst the glories they are witnessing. As the world's largest museum, the Louvre is unquestionable the cultural high point of Paris, a city that has long been considered the cultural center of Europe.

Walk outside and you realize that the Louvre is a

book on architecture from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The novel "Da Vinci Code", presented as a work

of fiction by Dan Brown, goes beyond the imagination. The secrets revealed during the investigation by the main characters Robert

Langdon and Sophie Neveu makes one feel that

they could be actual events. Our visit to the

Louvre was an opportunity to walk in the

footsteps of the investigators and discover the secrets of the Priory of Sion. Our Louvre tour was the best way to see the works that appear in the Da Vinci Code from a different point of view.

The museum has selected 10 works and locations

BarthélemyPrieur

that we were able to visit, to see for ourselves and decide whether the theories in Dan Brown's book were plausible.

Paris-the City of Light -has been a beacon for centuries. As a world capital of art, fashion, food and

literature, it stands as a symbol of all the fine things human civilization can offer. Paris offers sweeping boulevards, chatty crepe stands, chic boutiques and world class art galleries. Sip decaf

with deconstructionists at a sidewalk café, then stop in to an impressionist painting in a tree lined

park. Roam through the Louvre Museum, filled with over 30,000 works of art, a treasure trove of Western civilization. This vast museum is famous as a home to Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo -but that's just the appetizer course. You'll find Greek, Roman and Egyptian sculptures plus masterpieces from the Renaissance to Romanticism starring Michelangelo, Leonard De Vinci,

Pablo Picasso and many others.

Antiquity is the first stage in our history of art. Our tour group had the opportunity to visit ancient

forms and art where antiquity had a major influence on European Artist/Sculptors. The Louvre Museum undoubtedly ties antiquity/art together with modern times.quotesdbs_dbs7.pdfusesText_13
