Hommes Illustres, Cour Napoleon, Louvre, Paris, France
Facade of the Cour Napoleon at the Musee du Louvre, Paris, France, with the Hommes Illustres, a series of 86 statues of famous men placed above the colonnade of the courtyard 1853-57 under the architects Louis Visconti and Hector Lefuel. These wings were built during the Second Empire under Napoleon III in the 1850s in Neo-Baroque style, linking the original Louvre building with the Palais des Tuileries, which burnt down in 1871 and was razed in 1873.
