New York: NBM Comicslit. New. 2014. First Edition. Second Printing; Hardcover. 1561638412 . Louvre Collection Series; Color Illustrations; 11.6 X 9.1 X 0.7 inches; 144 pages; Hard cover has white and blue lettering on spine. NEW book. Pages are clean and tight. Beautifully illustrated with color pictures by Bilal. 'Superstar comic artist Enki Bilal reimagines the Louvre as a ghostly place in this series of 22 portraits. The Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a reclining Christ, an Egyptian bust--these and other works of art are seen through the eyes of their own particular phantom. The motley collection of men, women, and children presented in these vignettes-- a Roman legionary, a muse, a painter, and a German officer, among others--have little in common other than their often violent demises and an eternity spent haunting the iconic Parisian museum. Bilal recounts the life stories of these lost souls in dramatic biographies that combine fiction and historical reality, often evoking the creation of the works in question. The paintings that compose this graphic novel were presented in a special exhibition at the Louvre in early 2013.' oversized, 3#. .
