A late 19th Century illustration of the Gallery of Ancient Sculptures in the Louvre Palace, located on the Right Bank of the Seine in Paris, between the Tuileries Gardens and the church of Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois. Originally a military facility, it has served numerous government-related functions and intermittently as a royal residence between the 14th and 18th centuries. Henry IV, France's new king from 1589 is associated with the Grand Dessein ("Grand Design") of uniting the Louvre and the Tuileries in a single building.
