Painting Description
"Description des Festes données par la Ville de Paris, à l'occasion du Mariage de Madame Louise-Elisabeth de France & de Dom Philippe" is a detailed account of the public celebrations held in Paris in 1739 to commemorate the marriage of Louise Élisabeth of France, the eldest daughter of King Louis XV, to Infante Philip of Spain, who would later become Duke of Parma. This work was authored by Jacques François Blondel, a renowned French architect and teacher, who is remembered for his contributions to the theory and practice of architecture during the Enlightenment.
The book provides an elaborate description of the festivities, including the design and construction of temporary structures such as triumphal arches, stages for performances, and elaborate decorations that adorned the city. These structures were not only feats of engineering and artistry but also served as symbols of the political and cultural significance of the union between the two royal houses.
Blondel's work is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the urban design and celebratory practices of 18th-century Paris. It captures the grandeur and ephemeral beauty of the event, reflecting the city's role as a stage for royal propaganda and public rejoicing. The text is accompanied by detailed illustrations that provide a visual record of the temporary architecture and the pageantry of the occasion.
"Description des Festes données par la Ville de Paris" is considered an important primary source for researchers studying the Baroque period, the history of festive architecture, and the cultural life of Paris in the pre-revolutionary era. It stands as a testament to the grand public spectacles of the time and the intricate relationship between architecture, urban planning, and royal representation.
