Archivo: Map of Tuileries and Louvre, as in c. 1589

Descripción: Part of map of Paris, 1422–1589, showing close up of the Tuileries palace and the Louvre. The Louvre is to the right, on the north bank of the Seine, opposite where the city walls meet the river; the Tuileries palace, built (c. 1563–80) by Catherine de' Medici, is further along the bank to the left, with its gardens extending to the countryside and a view of open country to the south of the river. Henry IV (1589–1610) was to join the Louvre to the Tuileries with a gallery along the bank of the Seine (see Blunt, Art and Architecture in France: 1500–1700, Yale University Press, 1999 edition, ISBN 0300077351).
