The architects visualized new forms of imperial sovereignty by inverting the symbols of monarchy and revolution, constructing meeting rooms resembling military encampments and gilded thrones that replaced the Bourbon lily with Napoleonic bees. Yet in the wake of political struggle, each foundation stone that the architects laid for the new imperial regime was accompanied by an awareness of the contingent nature of sovereign power. Contributing fresh perspectives on the architecture, decorative arts, and visual culture of revolutionary France, this book explores how Percier and Fontaine's desire to build structures of permanence and their inadvertent reliance upon temporary architectural forms shaped a new awareness of time, memory, and modern political identity in France. 600 10 $a Percier, Charles, $d 1764-1838 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Fontaine, Pierre François LeÌonard, $d 1762-1853 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Fontaine, Pierre François LeÌonard, $d 1762-1853. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00073031 600 17 $a Percier, Charles, $d 1764-1838. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00073032 650 0 $a Symbolism in architecture $z France. 650 0 $a Decoration and ornament $z France $x Empire style. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009123034 650 7 $a Decoration and ornament $x Empire style. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889166 650 7 $a Symbolism in architecture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140770 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211032203.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9D8D426F05411E7964A246697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
