Louvre Art Deck
The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world, but how many of us get to go there? This boxed set of photo cards is just gorgeous! You get a large card with a detailed art photograph on one side, and a full paragraph about the piece on the back. The 100 cards represent the most significant works on display. There are 90 paintings and 10 sculptures by artists you know and many you aren't yet. You can focus on a few as are age appropriate. Many uses for these! Make an interesting game where you hide a card, pretend it has been stolen from the Louvre, and solve the crime! Add this set to any art of European unit study. Each card is on shiny white card stock, 6.25" square, with rounded corners. Storage box is heavy duty and pretty; leave it out and invite kids to explore the Louvre! (pronounced Loov-ra) ~ Sara)
The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world. The paintings of the Louvre constitute the richest and grandest collection of European art anywhere.
Culled from Black Dog's best-selling book The Louvre: All the Paintings, The Louvre Art Deck distills into 100 6 3/8" x 6 3/8" cards the museum's most iconic and significant paintings. Also included are 10 other masterpieces like The Venus de Milo and I.M. Pei's Pyramid. On the front side of each card is a fullsize photograph of the painting, and on the back is text by art historian Anja Grebe on the key attributes of the work, what to look for when viewing the painting, the artist's inspirations and techniques, biographical information on the artist, and more.
The cards are also fully annotated with the name of the painting and artist, the date of the work, the birth and death dates of the artist, the medium that was used, the size of the painting, the Louvre catalogue number, and the room in the Louvre in which the painting can be found.
Perfect for students, art lovers, and armchair travelers alike, The Louvre Art Deck is a unique way to enjoy and learn about the greatest works of the great master artists.
