Livre - Love in the Louvre

In Love in the Louvre, the art of love and the love of art have been intimately entwined, from ancient times to the modern period. Through a critical selection of forty works of art – including both famed masterpieces and little-known gems – this book celebrates this inexhaustible theme and offers an original look at the collections of the world’s finest museum.
