Summary: "The Louvre: Fifty Plates in Colour" by Paul G. Konody and Maurice W. Brockwell is an illustrated art volume written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the vast collection housed in the Louvre Museum, highlighting its historical significance and featuring detailed analyses of numerous paintings from various artists and schools. The book delves into notable artworks, possibly including famous pieces like the "Mona Lisa" and aims to provide readers with insights into the evolution of artistic styles represented in the museum. At the start of the text, the authors present a preface that outlines their intention to systematically study the paintings in the Louvre, addressing artists by their widely recognized names rather than official catalog labels. They emphasize the importance of critical analysis concerning the attribution of works, especially concerning Italian paintings, and the role of historical context in interpreting these art pieces. The introduction details the historical development of the Louvre as a royal collection, featuring anecdotes about significant monarchs, such as François I, who laid the foundation for the art collection, and provides brief insights into individual artists and their contributions within the museum’s esteemed collection.
