Nantes / the Graslin theater

The Graslin theatre, built in 1788 to plans by Mathurin Crucy, is a fine example of neoclassicism. Twelve steps lead to the vestibule, while eight Corinthian columns support the pediment. Ravaged by fire in 1796, it was only after the visit of Emperor Napoleon I in 1808 that the theater was rebuilt. A little later, during the period of the Second Restoration, the sculptor Dominique Molknecht made the eight antique-style muses overhanging each column, as well as statues of Molière and Corneille overlooking the grand staircase, visible from the square. > Printed on Magno satin FSC White 200 g/m2 • Coated 1/2 matte 2 sides • Quadri. front > Packaging in a protective tube.
