Picasso’s visits to the Louvre are shrouded in mystery. Little documented, beyond the few accounts by Fernande Olivier, Ardengo Soffici, or D. H. Kahnweiler, the artist’s presence in the museum’s halls is hard to trace. The best-known episode occurred in the spring of 1947, when one Tuesday—a closure day—Picasso appeared at the Louvre in the company of Françoise Gilot and Georges Salles. However, thanks to these rare accounts, a sort of Picassian pantheon can be discerned, among whose ranks are the artists El Greco, Goya, Zurbarán, Delacroix, Courbet, Uccello, and Poussin, but also Greek, Egyptian, Assyrian, and Iberian antiquities. From this information, an art history as seen by Picasso emerges.
