THE COURT OF THE TUILERIES CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY A elanoe at the History of the Tuileries--Louis Napoleon, Prince President Emporor of the French--The Solemn Proclamation of the Second Empire Tb.e Restoration of the Tuileries. Thirty-stx years ago, during that Bloody Week in May, 1871, hen with the fury of despair, the Commune of Paris battled vainly against the army of Versailles, the chief metropolitan lace of the rulers of France was destroyed by fire. Architecturally inferior to the Louvre, though some of its apartments were masterpieces of decoration, it was a massive but not particularly imposing pile. It laid no claim to antiquity. The "te on which it stood was, in the twelfth century, outside Paris, J ffiven over to brick and tile works, whence the name of T ileries -was derived. About 1342 a couple of pleasure-houses re built on the spot, and a hundred and sixty years later these properties were acquired by Louise of Savoy, mother of "F ancis I-> who during her regency in 1525 gave them "for 1"f ** to Jean Tiercelin, master of the Dauphin's household. T"hev subsequently reverted to the crown, and in 1564 Catherine A ' Medici ordered the demolition of the old houses, to make m for a. new royal palace by which she intended to replace +h. Qf Les Tournelles, which, in conjunction with her son, "Francis H- s DEGREESe superstitiously destroyed because her husband, Henri II., had died there from the effects of the lance-thrust he received in a joust with Montgomery. The original design for the palace of the Tuileries was prepared by the famous Philibert Delorme, and the building was entrusted to him and another notable man, Bullant, conjointly. But all at once Catherine stopped the work, and devoted herself to erecting near...
Download or read book Napoleon III and His Regime written by David Baguley and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Referred to in his time as “the Pretender” and “the sphinx of the Tuileries,” Louis Napoléon Bonaparte—the nephew of Emperor Napoleon I of France and himself ruler of the Second Empire (1852–1870)—so managed the manufacture of his public image and the masking of his private self that he is, ultimately, unknowable to this day. From the mysterious circumstances of his conception in 1807 to the strange events of his downfall in 1870 and death in 1873, he lived, loved, and reigned in an extraordinary aura of myth and fantasy under the shadow of his more famous uncle. Taking a highly innovative approach to this intriguing historical figure, David Baguley entertains sources in a mélange of media and forms—pictures, performances, spectacles, rituals, music, fiction, poems, plays, architecture, fashion, as well as Louis Napoléon’s own writings—to explore how the ruler was represented, invented, and interpreted by detractors and defenders alike. The dynamic process by which the legend of Napoleon III was elaborately fabricated and then vigorously dismantled unfolds under Baguley’s hand not chronologically but by generic categories, reflecting the author’s underlying conviction that history and literary depictments are not as incompatible as is often assumed. Baguley examines works by, among many others, Victor Hugo, Karl Marx, Émile Zola, Honoré Daumier, Jacques Offenbach, Gustave Flaubert, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning that range from history and biography to romanticized versions of the Emperor’s feats to parody, caricature, and satire. With its conspiratorial origins, its rising and dramatically falling action, its schemes, scandals, and tragic denouement, the Second Empire appears designed to inspire writers and artists. Napoleon III, Baguley observes, could well have been the central character, or temperament, in a naturalist novel. While most historians consider Louis Napoléon’s coup d’état of December 1851 to be his boldest endeavor, Baguley shows in this expansive and eloquent work that his most extravagant venture was to found a second Napoleonic empire, and he illustrates not only the power of the name and the image but also the precariousness of the Emperor’s reliance upon them. For Napoleon III, dissimulation was his natural state; opportunist or utopian reformer, or something in between, he must remain one of history’s most elusive and controversial figures, ever resisting final assessment.

Download or read book The British Bonapartes written by Edward Hilary Davis and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hitherto unexamined history of the wider Bonaparte family, presented in a new way and shedding fresh light on their eventful lives in Britain. From duels on Wimbledon Common and attempted suicides in Hyde Park, to public brawls and arrests in Shropshire and the sexual adventures of a princess who rescued Freud from the Nazis and brought him to Britain, this book exposes the curious events surrounding the family’s exploits in England, Scotland and Ireland. Originally an island family themselves, the Bonapartes have had a surprisingly good relationship with the British Isles. In just two generations, the Bonapartes went from being Britain’s worst enemy to one of Queen Victoria’s closest of friends. Far from another mere history of Napoleon Bonaparte, this book is divided into different branches of the Bonaparte family, detailing – in an anecdotal and amusing way – their rather scandalous lives in Britain. For example, few will know that Napoleon III was once a volunteer constable in London and arrested a drunk woman; or that Princess Marie Bonaparte sponsored Prince Philip’s education as well as conducted her own research into the clitoris in her quest to achieve an orgasm; or that Napoleon IV fought for the British army and was killed by the Zulus; or that one Bonaparte was even made a High Sheriff in a British town. Today, the head of the family is London-based and works in finance. The Bonapartes are known to most as the enemies of Britain, but the truth is quite the opposite, and far more entertaining.
Download or read book Mapping Degas written by Roberta Crisci-Richardson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Art History and the Impressionist canon seem to have successfully claimed Edgar Degas as a misogynist, rabid nationalist and misanthrope whose art was both masterly and experimental. By analysing Degas’s approach to space and his self-fashioning attitude towards identity within the ambiguities of the political and artistic culture of nineteenth-century France, this book questions the characterisation of Degas as a right-wing Frenchman and artist, and will change the way in which Degas is thought about today.
