Louvre 1947 by Pierre Jahan
In 1947, like the rest of Europe, Paris was emerging from the war after the Paris Peace Treaties were signed (wiki).
After the War, a new Louvre, transformed by major renovation
work, gradually opened to the public between 1945 and 1947. And
thanks to the skills and tenacity of those responsible for
safeguarding cultural property, the museum’s major masterpieces
returned to the palace, virtually unscathed. (Louvre)
