Author: Keiko Morita / Yuriko Yamamoto
“Paris, the City of Art” is home to some of the world's leading museums, including the Louvre Museum, and many people still visit the city for its art.
However, it is surprisingly little known that works spanning Western art history, from ancient sculptures and medieval tapestries to 19th-century paintings and even contemporary street art, breathe life into various parts of the city, not just the well-known "Mona Lisa" and "Water Lilies."
This book, "Paris Art Walk Notebook," is a guide that explores the city of Paris from the perspective of "art."
As the second installment in the series following "Paris History Walk Notebook," published in 2024, it divides art history into seven-day walking routes and proposes model courses for visiting museums and must-see works.
Each route also introduces lunch spots and cafes to stop by during your stroll.
Furthermore, it is rich in columns and glossary explanations to help understand the historical background, artists, and works, making it a book that allows not only those who actually travel, but also those who read it, to grasp the flow of Western art history.
It can be used for pre-trip study, as a guide during your trip, or as a book to trace your memories after returning home.
Why not explore the city of Paris with art as your guide?
