Inspired by the Louvre and its Objets d'art collection, Harry Nuriev has been invited by the museum to imagine a collection of charms and objects in line with the Louvre Couture exhibition. His creations are combined with unusual, immersive images, fixed under a silver glaze, of his great settings.
With a sense of humor and a taste for the offbeat, an exclusive selection of engravings are enchanted by a "silvering" effect that has become the artistic director's signature.
Jean de La Grive, also known as Abbé de la Grive, was appointed the city's official cartographer by Turgot, Provost of Merchants. In his capacity as geographer, he engraved several maps of Paris and the surrounding area.
This print shows only the positions of steeples, castles, mills, main roads (differentiating between paved and unpaved), the sinuosities of rivers and the heights of hills.
This chalcography is a unique copy.
Available exclusively at the Louvre Shop by appointment.
