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.
