metadata.value: The crypt and sarcophagus of Napoleon in the Dôme des Invalids in Paris which were constructed by
  an Italian-born French architect and designer Louis Tullius Joachim Visconti evince an extraordinarily
  expressive and harmonic colour combination in French and Italian marbles with those of so called
  porphyries in Napoleon’s tombstone (they are really green andesite from France and purple quartzite
  from Russia). Works continued over a twenty year period (1840–1861) which saw in France three
  Kings, one Republic and one Emperor, and in Russia two emperors. Every political change in France
  exerted critical influence on the continuation of these works. The events surrounding the constructing
  the crypt and tombstone, applying steam machinery to cut and polish the sarcophagus, the budgets
  of the work is described from archival documents in detail. J.-F. Bujatti (an Italian from St Petersburg)
  played an important role in the quarrying of the Russian ornamental stone and in its transport to Paris.
