The motley collection of men, women, and children presented in these vignettes - a Roman legionary, a muse, a painter and a German officer, among others - have little in common other than their often violent demises and an eternity spent haunting the iconic Parisian museum. Bilal recounts the life stories of these lost souls in dramatic biographies that combine fiction and historical reality, often evoking the creation of the works in question. The paintings that compose this graphic novel were presented in a special exhibition at the Louvre in early 2013.

"Bilal's art proves suitably unsettling: this is not a 'touristy' consideration of fine art masterworks, but the work of a politically engaged artist. Each painting catches the feel of the original work while adding its own ironic spin, resulting in the most unique and thought-provoking 'Louvre Edition' to date." --Bill Sherman, Seattle Post Intelligencer
"The results are pretty unusual." --Heidi McDonald, the Comics Beat
