Donation Lapeyre inv.854c, inv.854b<br />
The Palais Bourbon in Paris (today the<br />
<strong>National</strong> Assembly) became the seat <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Corps législatif (Legislative Body) during<br />
the Empire. The painters Alexandre-Évariste<br />
Fragonard and Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret<br />
furnished the military drawings displayed<br />
here and nearby for a series <strong>of</strong> bas-relief<br />
sculptures that decorated the exterior <strong>of</strong> this<br />
building. These bas-reliefs were destroyed<br />
in 1815 after the fall <strong>of</strong> Napoleon’s regime.<br />
