Histoire(s) de l'Art en BD #[nn]

A red-haired young woman in a teal hoodie and green beanie stands with her back to us, gazing up at Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring — a quietly charming image that captures the timeless conversation between a modern viewer and a masterwork. Published by Éditions Petit à Petit under the Artips banner, this volume promises to make art history accessible and alive through the medium of comics. If you've ever stood transfixed before a painting and wished someone would just explain the magic, this 2016 release looks like exactly the right guide.
