Pros and Cons of Bernini's Design for the Louvre: Monumentality Without Dome, Pediment or Free‐Standing Column and Its Drawbacks

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
ABSTRACT In the 17th‐century Louvre expansion project, many architects used free‐standing columns, domes and large pediments for its east elevation. These elements helped give the elevation, over 150 m wide, the monumentality the court wanted, while also providing the appropriate articulation. Bernini was probably the only architect who did not use any
