 Paintings were also added along the corridor, illustrating the history of the French monarchy, painted in the "Troubador" style of the 1820s and 1830s, painted by a team of the leading academic painters.Beginning in 1853, under Napoleon III, the corridor was turned into a library and most of the paintings were removed, with the exception of a large portrait of Henry IV on horseback by Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse.The large globe near the entrance of the gallery, placed there in 1861, came from the office of Napoleon in the Tuileries Palace.
