"Full of glory is the early history of the Luxembourg Museum. It was an essential cradle of the Louvre before it became its waiting room. In 1747, masterpieces of numerous schools, acquired by French kings, were distributed in the galleries and royal apartments. These priceless paintings, immortal prototypes of art, sacred foci of its traditions, served to adorn the ostentatious salons and entertain the courtiers waiting in the anterooms." - excerpt from the book.
