De Wachters van het Louvre

In this meditative 2015 graphic novel from Scratch Books, acclaimed Japanese creator Jiro Taniguchi (working with Studio Peter de Raaf) imagines a dreamlike night spent within the hallowed halls of the Louvre. A lone visitor wanders the empty museum after hours, where the artworks themselves begin to stir and share their silent histories. Taniguchi’s meticulous, quiet linework transforms the iconic Parisian institution into a living, breathing world of memory and myth. It’s a serene, visually stunning tribute to the power of art, created by one of manga’s most revered storytellers.
