Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Empire style’ is a concept that twentieth-century historians have based on the implicit association of art with the imperial regime. Contemporary experts tend to question the relevance and therefore the legitimacy of this term by exposing its artistic and historical inaccuracies.
