800 years of the Louvre's history, from the building of the palace by the Capetians in the late 12th century, through its gradual transformation into a museum in the 18th century, to the architectural alterations of the 19th and 20th centuries. The documents and images gathered illustrate the tension between stone and power, inherent in the edifice.

The book is structured by a series of introductions that put the building in perspective; but above all, it showcases the finest images of the Louvre and Tuileries, created by the greatest artists. Each of these images needs to be read and analyzed, both as a source and as a work of art: learning to see the Louvre is what this book is all about.
