PIERRE-FRANÇOIS-LÉONARD FONTAINE, VIEW OF PLACE CONCORDE IN PARIS, WITH THE MADELEINE CHURCH IN THE BACKGROUND, GRAPHITE, PEN AND BLACK INK, WATERCOLOR, ON TWO JOINED SHEETS OF PAPER, FRAGMENTARY WATERMARK ‘COMP’
From 1796 onwards, Antoine François Peyre, Percier and Fontaine's master, worked on completing the old Louvre, connecting it to the Tuileries Palace and creating an enlarged National Museum. Between the Louvre and the Tuileries lay an entire neighbourhood with streets and squares. The aim was to “magnify the heart of Paris”. The creation of the Rue de Rivoli, running from the Place de la Concorde to the Place du Palais Royal, would separate the city from the palace and give Napoleon's residence a more majestic setting. In 1802, Percier and Fontaine presented their project using this plan, over two metres long, which corresponded to 'an embellishment of the Tuileries Garden, not a traffic route' (Garric, op. cit., 2026, p. 237). This ambitious watercolour plan, in very good condition, includes streets perpendicular to the Rue de Rivoli, thus providing a link from the Palais des Tuileries until the interior of the district, and a small square at the corner of the Tuileries, now the Place des Pyramides.
