Paris : City of Art

Paris - the City of Light - is arguably the most important city in the world for exceptional art and architecture.

Featuring the city's most important achievements in art and architecture, this large format book illustrates every stage in Paris's long and distinguished history in the arts - from its early beginnings as an ancient Roman city to its eventual evolution into the most fashionable city in the world.

Paris, City of Art allows the reader to experience (or revisit) its myriad cultural treasures: the soaring cathedral of Notre Dame with its stained glass decoration; the Louvre, once a royal residence and now the most important museum in the world; and modern painting, such as the work of Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Eduoard Manet, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, some of the greatest artists throughout history.
