Résumé anglais From the Château de Gaillon to the Louvre: Louis XII's Bust, a Royal Effigy Dismembered
This paper follows the journey of the 1508 bust of Louis XII by Lorenzo da Muzzano from its dominant position on the façade of the courtyard of the Grant'Maison of the Château de Gaillon to the Louvre, where it is now exhibited. Starting in the French Revolution, the sculpture was repeatedly mutilated and restored, which each time changed its possible interpretation. The aim of this paper is to rediscover the representation of this King of France as a Roman Imperator by understanding his objectives during the Italian wars. The map, part of which was also mutilated and restored over time, is held firmly in his left hand and is testimony to his ambitions for the peninsula and helps us to redefine and better understand them.
