A witty introduction to the Louvre´s many masterpieces, told from the perspective of the subjects themselves - including resident superstar Mona Lisa. Millions of people visit the Louvre Museum every year to gaze and gawp at its all-star art collection. But there´s one star who gets a lot more attention than anyone else - and her very own special queuing system, if you can believe it! Well, the Louvre´s many other masterpieces aren´t too happy about being overshadowed - and they´re here to tell everyone what makes them just as worthy of the Mona Lisa´s teeming crowds. With a focus on portraits and other person-centred artworks, Mona Lisa and the Others reveals the stories behind some of the Louvre Museum´s most famous artworks. Napoleon Bonaparte takes readers behind the scenes at his own coronation; the Venus de Milo explains what happened to her missing arms; the Seated Scribe lets slip some gossip about the ancient Egyptian royal family; and Madame le Brun has a polite moan about juggling the demands of being Marie Antoinette´s portrait painter and a working mother. But perhaps most intriguing of all, Mona Lisa reveals that there´s more to her portrait than her mysterious smile... Written in a light-hearted and contemporary style by Alice Harman, and illustrated with the energetic artwork of Sir Quentin Blake, Mona Lisa and the Others is an entertaining introduction to the Louvre Museum´s collection that will appeal to children, parents, guardians and teachers from all walks of life.mehr
