The Louvre is the book in which welearn to read– Paul Cezanne

From Royal Palace to Museum of worldrenown

Talkingabout greatness of architecture and art in France it is inevitable to take asabsolute point of reference the Louvre Museum, iconic monument in Paris andgreatest museum in the whole world.

Thismagnificent structure, which was originally born as fortress in the 12th centuryto protect the city from Vikings attaks, became later on home of an extensiveart collection as well as royal recidence for a limited period of time. Throughthe years the Louvre became object of many changement and renovations,especially under Napoleon I.

Itwas during the French Revolution that the National Assembly finally decided todecree the Louvre as public museum and to open his gates the 10th of August1793 with an exibition of 537 paintings.

Lateron, under president Mitterrand commission, the iconic glass pyramyd designed byarchithect leoh Ming Pei was added to the original building becoming the symbolof the museum itself.

Aswell as being an interesting architectural structure itself the Louvre museumfeatures important works of art from all over the world, among them we cancertainly mention the "Venus de Milo", Leonardo da Vinci's "MonaLisa", the "Winged victory" by Samothrace and Albrecht Durer's "Self-portrait".

From ancient times to the XXICentury: a tribute to one of the most magnificent museums in the world –the Limited Edition Musée du Louvre

Becauseof Montblanc's devotion to culture, history and art it was almost imperative todedicate this precious skeleton fountain pen, made of 750 solid white gold, inoccasion of the 2009 celebration for the 20th anniversary of the iconic pyramidglass.

Thistribute to the world's foremost repository of art and culture is one ofMontblanc's most ambitious designs.

Infact this instrument incorporates modern and classical elements, just like themuseum itself. The cap features an 18K white gold skeleton lattice, echoing theglass pyramid "façade" created by the visionary architect Ieoh MingPei; the barrel, rings and captop are decorated with Renaissance and Baroquepatterns; the black hematite clip detail is also inspired by the pyramid andthe design is completed with a lustrous mother-of-pearl captop star. 18K goldMedium (M) nib engraved with artistic motifs.

Design Features:

· As homage to one of thelargest museums in the world the design is insprired by elements from thefaçade and from the new symbol of the Louvre: the Ieoh Ming Pei’s pyramid.

· The skeleton cap isreminiscent of the roof of the glass pyramid in the Louvre yard – this again issymbolised in the hematite stone (pyramid cut) set on the clip

· The skeleton body is linkedto the bricks and pattern in the façade of the building itself. Pattern on captop and cone are also inspired by the façade.

· Montblanc emblem inmother-of-pearl

· The limitation of 89 piecespays tribute to the year in wich the pyramid – new symbol of the Louve - was built, 1989.
