Obviously the LT star-system cannot be applied to a collection of some of the world's greatest painting. Still, it should be noted that Lawrence Gowing's commentary is fatuous approaching downrigh silly.

A door-stop of a book about an amazing museum's paintings that I will always refer back to in order to reminisce about my love of art and my love of Paris. You can ask for no better more urbane and witty guide through the magisterial collection of this amazing museum. A book that continues to educate and entertain through beatiful photographs of world famous paintings and their authors. A book to treasure.
