  • Perfect gift for lovers of art

    I sent the book 'Louvre: all the paintings...' to an artist friend of mine for her birthday. My friend had been to the Louvre twice, but all she was able to fit into her luggage, was a CD she bought at the Louvre. The book is large and very heavy. According to my friend, it contains many more works than the CD, even more than my friend recalls having seen. The book was in perfect condition and was the perfect gift.

  • Love it !

    I had the opportunity to visit the Louvre a while back and when I got this big book I could not believe how much I had forgotten. It's like I'm going through the same hallways and looking into so much majestic, powerful, inspirational experience once again.
