Art in the Louvre for 300 years

0
Once King Louis XIV and the Court had settled in Versailles, the royal palace of the Louvre became the residence and workshop of the greatest artists of the time. In 1692, the French Academy, the Academy of Inscriptions, the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Architecture, the Academy of Painting and Sculpture moved into the Louvre. During the Revolution, the National Assembly decided to create a museum in the Louvre to display the royal and ecclesiastical collections. In 1793, the Central Museum of the Arts presented 537 paintings to the public, just one year after the fall of the monarchy. Under Napoleon I, the museum became the Napoleon Museum.
