For the fourth room of the Conseil d’État in the Palais du Louvre, Alaux, Franque, Colson, Steuben, Lancrenon and Dejuinne were chosen for the walls and above the doors, while Mauzaisse was in charge of the ceiling.  The 1825 commission specified the themes: the ceiling was to represent La Sagesse divine donnant des lois aux rois et aux législateurs (Divine Wisdom giving laws to the Kings and legislators), the other panels were variations on the theme of Justice.  The collections from the Musée du Louvre were allocated to this room in the Conseil d’État in 1872, the ceiling remaining in place (today the Louis XVIII room in the Decorative Arts Department).  The wall paintings have been dispersed.  Six original pieces of work were regrouped with four ceiling sketches from the Jean-Marie de Silguy collection.  The result is a spectacular decorative art with a complex symbolism that is particularly interesting, half way between the neo-classicism of the Revolution and the academicism of the middle of the century

 The museum also has a second door heading painted by Colson representing le Génie des lois (the Spirit of laws).
