Phantoms of the Louvre by Enki Bilal

The motley collection of men, women, and children presented in these vignettes - a Roman legionary, a muse, a painter and a German officer, among others - have little in common other than their often violent demises and an eternity spent haunting the iconic Parisian museum. Bilal recounts the life stories of these lost souls in dramatic biographies that combine fiction and historical reality, often evoking the creation of the works in question. The paintings that compose this graphic novel were presented in a special exhibition at the Louvre in early 2013.

Enki Bilal is a comic artist and film director who has had a significant impact on the development of the comics medium in Europe. The Nikopol trilogy and the Beast trilogy are his works.
