介绍（中）	拿破仑三世最宏伟的项目是新卢浮宫——建造连接卢浮宫和杜乐丽宫的侧翼，并清理后来成为皇家住宅巨大庭院的现有建筑。拿破仑三世的新卢浮宫充满了法国各君主长达数十年的梦想，试图以一种字面的方式将第二帝国与凯瑟琳·德·美第奇和路易十四的崇高遗产联系起来 Baldus是当时最好的建筑摄影师，他受委托对1854年开始的建筑进行视觉记录。除了令人钦佩地实现了它们的纪录片功能外，像这幅作品是他精心制作和清晰表达的作品之一，展示了摄影无与伦比的能力，即在不受风景如画的惯例或个人绘图风格影响的情况下，呈现光和体积的效果，记录最复杂的细节这张照片中显示的即将完工的立面面向皇家宫对面的里沃利街，现在是卢浮宫博物馆的入口。穿过主拱门的通道通向贝聿铭设计的玻璃金字塔。
介绍（英）	The grandest of Napoleon III's projects was the New Louvre-the construction of wings linking the Louvre and Tuileries Palaces and the clearing of existing buildings in what would become the huge courtyard of the imperial residences. Fullfilling the decades-long dream of various French sovereigns, the New Louvre of Napoleon III sought in a literal way to tie the Second Empire to the noble legacy of Catherine de Medici and Louis XIV. Baldus, the best architectural photographer of the day, was commissioned to make a visual record of the construction, beginning in 1854. Beyond admirably fulfilling their documentary function, works such as this one are among his most carefully crafted and clearly articulated demonstrations of photography's unparalleled capacity to render the play of light and volume and to record the most intricate details, unmediated by picturesque convention or personal style of draftsmanship. The façade shown nearing completion in this photograph faces the rue de Rivoli, opposite the Palais Royal, and is now an entrance to the Louvre museum. The passageway through the principal arch leads to the glass pyramid designed by I. M. Pei.
