Surprise: Beyoncé and Jay Z shoot the video for their new song at the Louvre. Can you recognize the artworks?

As one would say in the language of marketing, a particularly important “location” for the video clip of Beyoncé and Jay Z’s latest song: the couple, who signed themselves with the stage name The Carters (i.e., their married surname), in fact shot the video for Apeshit, a single taken from the latest album Everything is love, at the Louvre. The album is the first that the two singers recorded together, contains nine tracks and was presented precisely by the video of Apeshit, posted on YouTube (by clicking here you can see it) last June 16.

The video features many of the Louvre’s most iconic works, from the obvious (such as the Mona Lisa, the Nike of Samothrace, David’s Oath of the Horatii, and Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa ) to less obvious ones (the Pieta by Rosso Fiorentino, Ary Scheffer’s Paolo and Francesca, Veronese’sLast Supper, Marie-Guillemine Benoist’s Portrait of Negra ), which make up a sort of mini-visit to the museum over the six-minute duration of the video.
