Summary: A genuine universal receptacle of artistic knowledge, the Louvre houses an extraordinary cross section of the most important works of art created over a period stretching from antiquity to the early decades of the 19th century. Through analysis of the individual works and their comparison with other masterpieces from the history of art, this book provides stimulating cues of interpretation and reflection that allow the reader to make a true journey of exploration into the history of humanitys figurative culture. At the same it reflects the didactic intent that is inherent in the arrangement of the collections and the layout of the museum, conceived, in its new organization, as an immense manual of the styles and schools of every age.
