Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical transformation of Paris from 1610 to 1643, a period marked by the reign of Louis XIII. The author delves into the city's physical evolution, focusing on the construction and architectural developments commissioned by Marie de' Medici, the regent queen. Through these projects, Paris took on a more modern and elaborate appearance, featuring grand palaces, expansive gardens, elegant bridges, and public fountains. The book provides detailed accounts of the construction of iconic landmarks like the Luxembourg Palace and its gardens, illuminating the artistic and political motivations behind their creation. It also sheds light on the establishment of public amenities such as the Aqueduc d'Arcueil and the placement of fountains in various neighborhoods, addressing the city's growing need for infrastructure and improved living conditions. Beyond its architectural focus, this book explores the social and cultural context of 17th-century Paris. It examines the motivations and challenges faced by the various individuals involved in these urban transformations, including architects, engineers, and the royal court. The author masterfully weaves together historical records, architectural descriptions, and social commentary to present a comprehensive and vivid portrait of a pivotal era in the history of Paris.
