"The Louvre Elevation of the Pavilion in the Middle of the River" is a notable architectural design conceived by the French architect Louis Le Vau for the expansion of the Louvre Palace in Paris. Louis Le Vau, one of the principal architects of French classicism, was active during the 17th century and is best known for his work on the Palace of Versailles and the Louvre. The project for the Louvre involved an ambitious plan to extend the palace by creating a grand pavilion that would be situated in the middle of the River Seine, effectively turning the river into a grand canal that would reflect the magnificence of the royal residence.

Le Vau's design was part of a larger renovation and expansion project initiated by King Louis XIV, who sought to transform the Louvre into a symbol of absolute monarchy and French cultural preeminence. The "Elevation of the Pavilion in the Middle of the River" reflects the Baroque architectural style, characterized by dramatic effects, grandeur, and a sense of movement, which was prevalent in Europe during the 17th century.

Although the design was never realized, it remains an important example of the grand architectural visions of the period and Le Vau's innovative approach to royal architecture. The elevation drawings and plans for the pavilion showcase the architect's skill in blending functionality with aesthetic appeal, as well as his ability to conceptualize structures that would enhance the urban landscape of Paris.

Today, the surviving documents and illustrations of Le Vau's design are studied by architects and historians as a testament to the grand architectural ambitions of the era and the evolving style of one of France's most celebrated architects. The "Elevation of the Pavilion in the Middle of the River" continues to be recognized as a significant piece of architectural history, illustrating the grandiose plans for the Louvre that, while never brought to fruition, would have dramatically altered the cityscape of Paris.
