by Daniel Soulie (Author)
The Louvre, originally the palace of King Philip II of France, reinvented itself as an art museum in 1793. This book presents a survey of the collections - filled with such iconic works as the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa - and the history and artistry of the institution itself.
