“…The archives still preserved in the museum, keep, records of this employment in decors throughout the castle. Finally, this paper intends to analyse the implementations of use of plaster in the Historical plaster works, it is interesting to underline that in 1819, he married Marie Pauline Micheli, daughter of an Italian moulder, Pellegrino Micheli who had arrived in Paris with his brother Etienne around 1780 (Carminati 2018) and had been living near the faubourg Saint-Antoine, as Plantar's family also did. Likewise, the Michelis family moved near the faubourg Saint-Germain during the first years of the 19 th century.…”

From 1833, Louis-Philippe transformed the former royal residence of Versailles into a new museum: the Historical Galleries. He gathered collections illustrating national history, from Middle Ages to his reign. To offer a proper setting, the architect Frederic Nepveu chose plaster as the main material of the decoration. And to do so, he hired the official sculptor of the time: Jean-Baptiste Plantar (1790-1879). As any sculptor, he used plaster as a sketch, but above all, he applied it largely in the mural decoration, even in key locations as the Great Battles Gallery and the 1830s Room. Plaster was also employed as a museographical tool to present collections, merged in an ensemble evoking their past eras. More than created an ornamental coherence in the galleries, Plantar’s works demonstrate the flourishing implementation of plaster in official architecture, and the means processed to show it.
