Enriched by war tributes

After his departure to Versailles, Louis XIV established the Academies, the French, of Inscriptions, Sciences, Architecture, Painting, and Sculpture in the former royal flats of the Louvre. In 1774, Louis XVI had the royal collections moved to the ‘Grande Galerie’. It was not until after the Revolution that the Louvre Museum was truly born. Its objectives? To open up art to the people and show the greatness of France. Named the Musée Napoléon in 1802, its collections were enriched by numerous war tributes from the cities conquered during the Napoleonic wars. Most of these works were returned after the Treaty of Vienna in 1815.
