Description: In 1793, the Louvre possessed no more than 500 pictures and 155 objets d'art. The present total approaches 250,000 items. Grouping the collections presented enormous difficulties, but an even greater problem was that of arranging the objects in rooms that had not been specially designed for exhibition purposes. The adaptation of the Louvre buildings must surely rank as one of the most remarkable feats of museum science. In his introductory text, M. Gauthier describes how this was achieved, and how the museum's great collections were gradually amassed. The reproductions in this second volume on the Louvre deal with the paintings in the museum, and are accompanied by detailed com-mentaries. Volume I deals with sculp-ture, ceramics, and objets d'art and gives an account of the history of the Louvre palace. Excellent Condition. 160 Pages. Bin#drt-007.
