Summary:
La famille Gabriel fut une véritable dynastie d’architectes, animée par un génie collectif. Ange-Jacques Gabriel (1698-1782), le plus célèbre d’entre eux, travailla principalement pour Louis XV et en étroite collaboration avec lui. Il est notamment l’auteur de la place de la Concorde, de l’École militaire, du Petit Trianon, des châteaux de Compiègne et de Fontainebleau ainsi que des décors intérieurs du château de Versailles. Il créa successivement le décor versaillais des années 1730-1760, puis après 1760 un style plus sobre inspiré de l’antique dit style Louis XVI. L’éclectisme du XIXe siècle réhabilitera son talent et sa manière que les pré-révolutionnaires jugeaient surannée. Dans cet ouvrage largement illustré, l’auteur retrace la prolifique carrière de Gabriel, décrit ses principales réalisations et replace son oeuvre dans la dynastie familiale.
