text: Bust of Louis XIV by Gianlorenzo 
  Bernini 
  
  Louis also renovated and improved the Louvre and other royal residences. Gian Lorenzo 
  Bernini was originally to plan additions to the Louvre; however, his plans would have meant the destruction of much of the 
  existing structure, replacing it with an Italian summer villa in the centre of Paris. Bernini's plans were eventually shelved in 
  favour of the elegant Louvre Colonnade designed by three Frenchmen: Louis Le Vau, Charles Le Brun, and Claude Perrault. With 
  the relocation of the court to Versailles, the Louvre was given over to the arts and the public.[113] During his visit from Rome, 
  Bernini also executed a renowned portrait bust of the king.
