What stylistic and narrative operations are deployed to write about the Louvre in romanesque literature in a realist mode in the nineteenth century?

A veritable “reigning location,” the Louvre is evoked not only for its “reality effects,” but as a basis for comparison, becoming a medium for equivocal values.
