Items related to Glacial Period (Louvre Collection)
In this fanciful and richly imaginative story, one of the most original and important young European comic artists imagines a frozen world thousands of years hence in which all human history has been forgotten. A small group of archaeologists come upon the Louvre, buried in age-old snow, and cannot begin to explain all of the artifacts they see. Their interpretations of the wonders before them strike a humorous, absurd, and farcical tone. One of the few books coedited by the Louvre, this graphic novel features stunning illustrations as it presents a unique vision of the great museum.

About the Author:
Review:
Nicolas De Crécy is a comic artist whose work includes Bug Jargal, Foligatto, León la Came, Salvatore 1: Transports of Love, and Salvatore 2: An Eventful Crossing. He also contributed to the feature film La Vieille Dame et les Pigeons.
"De Crécy's storytelling is agile, witty, and peppered with surprising twists. Beautiful and muted watercolor panels." —School Library Journal
"De Crécy is a gifted storyteller whose eye for body language and ear for a funny line never fails him. He deftly combines art history, science fiction and simple philosophizing in a short but very sweet tale." —Publishers Weekly
"De Crécy's art is breathtaking, he lives up to his reputation as a mad genius with this amusing work." —Booklist
"There is some farce inside, the book does not take itself too seriously. I enjoyed it, and recommend it to those who can laugh at their cultural selves." —Ralph Peterson, San Francisco Review
"A clever upending of the resilient myth that masterworks of art preserve the history and spirit of their era; the meaning of art, De Crécy suggests, belongs to the people who experience it." —Washington Post
"I love this book so much. it’s a sly satire on art history and a spectacular visual narrative all by itself." —Heidi McDonald, Comics Beat
