Le ciel au-dessus du Louvre

In this singular 2009 graphic novel from Futuropolis, artist Yslaire brings a visionary, painterly eye to a fictionalized account of the Louvre's history during a pivotal moment. The story imagines the museum's grand halls as a stage for an encounter between art and ideology, exploring how the institution's treasures confront the upheavals of their time. A landmark of French bande dessinée, it stands as a contemplative, visually stunning meditation on the power of art to survive and transcend political turmoil.
