Similar Selections found in Louvre Treasures,
By Alejandra Hansen (Carrboro, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treasures of the Louvre: 30 Postcards (Paperback)
I am an art instructor who works primarily to introduce pre-school and elementary age children to fine art. There are many fabulous reproductions found in this postcard book, such as Rembrandt's "Self-Portrait in Front of an Easel", Raphael's "The Holy Family", and Poussin's "Rape of the Sabines". Any person would be delighted to receive almost all of these postcards as a means to hear from friends and family. As a teaching tool, however, the 30 reproductions as a whole did not contain the breadth of art forms or artists I was hoping to find.The introduction to the book led me to believe it would include samples from all over the world, however it's focus was European painters (particularly heavy on the late 16th and 17th centuries) and consequently no female artists were included. The majority of reproductions had similar dark color schemes (reds, yellows, and browns, and all of the 30 reproductions were paintings, no other forms of any kind. The selection is a fine selection of postcards for the sake of postcards. It is also a fine tool for teaching European art, but as a sample of world art it does not contain the variety I was looking for.

Decent Oversized Cards,

This review is from: Treasures of the Louvre: 30 Postcards (Paperback)
These cards feature images of pieces from the Louvre collection. They're your usual images of paintings, nothing unusual but nice enough.
If you plan to actually mail these postcards, be sure to note the dimensions. These are oversized cards which require first class postage.

just okay - a little disappointing,
By
This review is from: Treasures of the Louvre: 30 Postcards (Paperback)
They are just okay. I am not thrilled with any of them. They are a little grainy. They are also not perforated, so you have to be careful when removing them from the binding. They are oversized too, so they require a regular first class stamp. I would look for a different set if you can find one.
