First steps at the Louvre

Invites young readers into the greatest museum in the world. Antique sculptures from Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, works of Medieval art, Renaissance paintings, creations of Islam, the Romantic painters... But above all this book teaches you to see. Look into the eyes of the Seated Scribe, discover with the Venus de Milo how marble can become flesh, find yourself face to face with the Mona Lisa...

Walk slowly around a sculpture, look at a painting close up and then step back. Who are the people in these masterpieces, what are the objects around them ? Always look again. And if you listen carefully to these great works you will hear them whispering their wonders through the ages.
