Le Nouvel Opéra de Paris (Sculpture Ornementale), 1865–72, Albumen silver print from glass negative, x cm. (15 1/16 x 11 in.), Photographs, Louis-Emile Durandelle (French, 1839–1917), Among the most lavish Second Empire monuments was the Paris Opéra, designed by Charles Garnier. Elaborately decorated in a neo-Baroque style and devoting as much space and luxe to grand ceremonial arcades, foyers, and staircases as to the theater hall proper, Garnier's design was selected in 1860 from among 171 entries and, once built, served as a model for many late-nineteenth-century theaters around the world
