Paris, City of Art

This book illustrates every stage in Paris’s distinguished history in the arts - from its early beginnings as a Roman city to its evolution into the most fashionable city in the world. 'Paris - City of Art' allows the reader to experience the city’s myriad cultural treasures - the soaring cathedral of Notre Dame with its stained-glass decoration; the Louvre, once a sumptuous royal residence and now one of the most important museums in the world; and modern paintings, such as the work of Eduoard Manet, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
