"It seems to me that the Louvre has everything that enables us to love and understand everything," wrote the painter Paul Cezanne.
Art lovers and children alike will enjoy this inviting exercise, which, following the format of the successful 'Art Up Close', asks readers to notice the tiniest visual elements of some of the best of the Louvre's historic artworks, each reproduced in an oversize spread.
Along the borders appear a dozen or so details culled from the piece itself, slightly larger than they appear in the paintings. Take time to explore each picture, each object, find all its hidden details. They are all discussed at the end of the book, where you can read about the artist's lives and locate details by lifting the flaps.
