Empire and Second Empire planners

Two empires, two faces of 19th century France. The first, that of Napoleon I, proclaimed in 1804 and closed in 1815, imposed a severe style turned towards antiquity, that of Jacques-Louis David and Antoine-Jean Gros in painting, of Percier and Fontaine in decoration, with its palmettes, its bees and its mahogany. The second, that of Napoleon III, from 1852 to 1870, invented the Paris of Haussmann, its boulevards and its apartment buildings, entrusted the Opera to Charles Garnier, and let the Salon des Refusés of 1863 open the way for Manet and the painters who came after him. Four planners, two per empire, in the 2027 edition and in the 2026, 2027 school year, with described works and ornaments of the time.
