Description
Illustrated with a superb collection of images, including paintings, drawings, watercolors, and 150 full-color photographs of projects in England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the United States, author Madeleine Deschamps's gracefully written text discusses Empire interiors, decorative arts, architecture, gardens, painting, sculpture, music, literature, and lifestyle within the political and economic context that so strongly influenced the development and popularity of the style. Napoleon's political hegemony may have ended long ago, but the style he fostered has remained of enduring interest among architects and designers. Indeed, an important Empire revival has developed in recent years, making this comprehensive, compelling, and sumptuous volume indispensable to designers, architects, art historians, and anyone captivated by the extravagant and brilliant style of the Napoleonic Empire.
