Overview
Cuando llegó al trono de España, Felipe V deseó una residencia de estilo francés. La elección se hizo en el Buen Retiro de Madrid, la residencia de placer de los reyes de España, cuyos edificios parecían anticuados e incómodos. Para establecer el gran arte monárquico francés, llamó al primer arquitecto de Luis XIV, Robert de Cotte, que dirigía la agencia «des Bâtiments du roi». El proyecto iba a asumir un carácter eminentemente político porque la camarera mayor, la princesa de los Ursinos, era allí, como en cualquier parte, la intermediaria entre Madrid y Versalles. Robert de Cotte realizó no dos, como se dice a menudo, sino cinco proyectos, con variantes, entre 1708 y 1715. Para asegurar el seguimiento en el lugar, lo encargó a su colaborador René Carlier en 1711. El proyecto evolucionó con las circunstancias políticas y militares del momento. La llegada de la italiana Isabel de Farnesio al trono y la salida de los franceses, de los Ursinos y Orry, en 1715, llevaron a su abandono. Los 25 dibujos conservados en la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia confirman el carácter emblemático del proyecto. Se presenta aquí, por primera vez, un análisis preciso en relación con las realizaciones francesas del momento.
