Charles Garnier's Paris Opera: Architectural Empathy and the Renaissance of French Classicism
No Customer Reviews
Charles Garnier's Paris Opera (1861-1875) is one of the largest, most flamboyant, and most expensive monuments commissioned by the Second Empire of Napoleon III. For years scholars have recognized that the Opera is key to any understanding of 19th-century French architecture, yet questions of style that have surrounded the Opera since its inception have remained unresolved. By making systematic use of the mostly unpublished Opera Archive, Mead aims to fill in the missing links to previous investigations and unlock the significance of this seminal masterpiece.
