The Intimate Louvre

Catalog description

In the Louvre, the largest museum in the world, focus on smaller paintings. Objectives: first, to see paintings from a fresh perspective, contemplating sketches, artists' first drafts before seeing the final version; secondly, to approach art freely and without complex, exploring details, texture and expression rather than official representation; finally, to come to terms with the museum itself, transforming this enormous palace into a visual 'home' over the quarter. Each session devoted to a different period of French art from the 17th to the 19th century. Course enrollment limited to 15 (first come, first served basis)
