"Known as 'Napoleon's architects,' Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine were not only the Emperor's official architects but two of the most celebrated teachers at the legendary Ecole des Beaux-Arts, responsible for developing the lightly influential neoclassical Empire, or Directoire, style of design. In addition to their renovations to the Louvre and the Tuileries, and the constructlion of the Arc de Triomphe de Carrousel, they are best known for Empress Josephine's house at Malmaison, where they carefully detailed every aspect of the interior design, including all the furnishings." - from dust jacket.
