The Musée du Louvre opened #onthisday in 1793! The Parisian museum features in many prints and drawings, with the galleries attracting lots of painters and sketchers over the years. In these four images we can see the galleries looking very different.

Pierre Rosenberg《盧浮宮私人詞典》翻譯本中， 無一張圖、畫。不過有些人物的書寫很有意思，譬如說， Vivant Denon 1747-1825

現在網路資料發達，很容易 (你要像我這般博學才行) 找到書中說的畫和典故。 以 "The Justice of Trajan by Eugène Delacroix, 1840".為例，請參考：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_of_Trajan
《盧浮宮私人詞典》有一己之見的很多，譬如說戴高樂看了馬畫，引了錯誤出典。不過諸如亨利二世的死，只說死於意外，更沒堤亨利四世被暗殺.....在公視"羅浮宮的祕密"，竟然有 Théodore Géricault的發瘋故事，未能與其"不倫"之戀的愛人見最後一面。當然介紹"The Raft of the Medusa 梅杜薩之筏"成畫經過--《盧浮宮私人詞典》的相關畫還有"死去的貓"Théodore GÉRICAULT, Le Chat

我有 Lawrence Gowing 三本書如紅標書名現在手頭上只這本Paintings in the Louvre 今天才知道是他身後之作
From Library Journal
Though many cities boast impressive art collections, Paris's Louvre is the art museum, and this 1987 title gathers more than 800 of its most famous items spanning 500 years of European art. LJ's reviewer found Gowing's text slightly prejudiced (LJ 1/88), but the hundreds of illustrations are simply stunning. As its original incarnation sold for $85, even at $50 this is a good buy.

Lawrence Gowing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Lawrence Gowing (21 April 1918 - 5 February 1991) was a British artist, writer, curator and teacher. Initially recognized as a portrait and landscape painter, he quickly rose to prominence as an art educator, writer, and eventually, curator and museum trustee. As a student of art history he was largely self-taught.[1]He was born Lawrence Burnett Gowing to Horace Gowing, a draper, and his wife, Louise. Born in Stoke Newington and raised in London, his first painting of note, Mare Street, Hackney, made reference to his father's shop. After attending the Downs School at Colwall, Herefordshire and Leighton Park School, in 1938 he enrolled in the Euston Road School, where he studied with William Coldstream. He was a conscientious objector during World War II.[2] In the 1940s he became recognised as a painter, and for the rest of his life was sought after to paint casual but quintessential portraits of the eminent, among whom were Clement Attlee, Lord Halifax, and Edgar Adrian.
He began teaching in 1948, first as Professor of Fine Art, at King's College, University of Durham at Newcastle upon Tyne (now Newcastle University) from 1948-58, then as Principal of Chelsea School of Art from 1958-65, as Professor of Fine Arts at Leeds University, finally serving as principal of the Slade School of Fine Art at University College, London from 1975-85. Concurrently, he authored a number of art monographs and catalogues on masters such as Vermeer, William Hogarth, J.M.W. Turner, Cézanne, Matisse, and Lucian Freud. Among the major exhibitions he organized were those for Turner at the Museum of Modern Art in 1966, Matisse in New York in 1966 and London in 1968, and Cézanne, which traveled in 1988-89 from the Royal Academy to the Musée d'Orsay and the National Gallery of Art.
Sir Lawrence was a trustee of the Tate Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, and the British Museum, and was a member of the Arts Council of Great Britain. In 1978, he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, and was made honorary curator of its collections in 1985. Beginning in the 1960s he traveled to the United States to serve as Kress Professor at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., and was also curator of the Phillips Collection in Washington. Knighted in 1982, he was made a chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters in France in 1985.
A first marriage, to Julia Strachey, a member of the Bloomsbury Group, ended in divorce. In 1967 he married Jenny Wallis. Sir Lawrence had three daughters. He died of heart failure at the age of 72.
