Krátky popis
'A fascinating and deeply rewarding book' Adam Zamoyski, Daily
Telegraph Napoleon's Plunder chronicles one of the most spectacular
art appropriation campaigns in history and, in doing so, sheds new
light on the complex origins of what was once called the Musee
Napoleon, now known as the Louvre. It centres on the story of
Napoleon's theft of Paolo Veronese's Wedding Feast at Cana, a vast,
sublime canvas that in 1797 the French army tore from a wall of the
monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Feast was just one of
Napoleon's spoils of war, which he claimed for the French nation
and displayed in a public museum - the Louvre.He filled the former
palace of the French kings with his acquisitions, and Europe
flocked to Paris and hailed the Louvre as the greatest museum in
the world. Did he take it for himself? Or for France? Or for the
world at large? Saltzman interweaves the stories of Napoleon's
military campaigns, uncovering the treaties through which he
obtained his loot, with the histories of the plundered works
themselves, exploring how these masterpieces came into being. As
much as a story of military might, this is an account of one of the
most ambitious cultural projects ever conducted.
