Pavillon de Flore information


Pavillon de Flore in 2011. Carpeaux's sculpture Flore is centered under the pediment of the south (river) facade.
Outline plan of the Louvre Palace: the Pavillon de Flore is at the lower left, in red; the former Tuileries Palace, on the left, in white; the 'old' quadrangular Louvre, on the right, in two shades of blue.

The Pavillon de Flore, part of the Louvre Palace in Paris, France, stands at the southwest end of the Louvre, near the Pont Royal.[1] It was originally constructed in 1607–1610, during the reign of Henry IV, as the corner pavilion between the Tuileries Palace to the north and the Louvre's Grande Galerie to the east.[2][3] The pavilion was entirely redesigned and rebuilt by Hector-Martin Lefuel in 1864–1868 in a highly decorated Second Empire style. Arguably the most famous sculpture on the exterior of the Louvre, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's Triumph of Flora, was added below the central pediment of the south façade at this time.[4][2]: 85–86  The Tuileries Palace was burned by the Paris Commune in 1871, and a north façade, similar to the south façade, was added to the pavilion by Lefuel in 1874–1879.[2]: 91-93  Currently, the Pavillon de Flore is part of the Louvre Museum.
