Inventing the national identity in the museum - from Old Regime to Revolution

从旧政权时代开始，法国艺术中的爱国主义意识表现在流派观念、风格、题材选择、表现方式、表现方式等方面。在法国大革命时期，“过去”一度被认为是邪恶的，于是，歌颂革命胜利的画面取代了旧的画面。该博物馆于1793年在卢浮宫开馆，被认为是一个合适的媒体来固定这个新的国家形象，并将革命精神可视化。尽管政府经常宣扬这一理想，但在主管委员会的讨论中，在博物馆展品的作品和分类中，仍明显存在着一些令人讨厌的旧习俗。从这项研究中可以得出的结论是，至少在早期阶段，博物馆在创造国家身份方面的政治作用是相当有限的。

From the Old Regime era, patriotic consciousness in French art was manifested in the idea of schools, styles, choice of subjects, mode of expressions, and way of displaying. Once the "past" was considered an evil during the French revolution, the images applauding the revolutionary success replaced the old one. The museum opened in 1793 at the Louvre Palace, was expected as a suitable media for fixing this new national image and visualizing the revolutionary spirits. For all this ideal pronounced frequently by the government, are explicit some rests of the detestable old customs in the discussions of the committees in charge and on the works and classification of the museum display. It should be concluded, from what has been examined by this study, that the political role of the museum, at least in the early stage, of inventing a national identity was rather limited.
