The goal today was to finish seeing all of the Louvre. I’d say we hit our goal. We got about 90%+ of the Louvre (that was open anyways). I’m so glad I took all of these pictures. Going back through them I would have forgot most of the amazing works of art I saw that day. It’s just too much fantastic art to remember all at once.

He seems proud of his seashell. My favorite piece from this trip.

Paintings That Caught My Eye

On the back of the last painting
Crazy Monkeys.
Lots of paintings of good catches.
People playing cards
More crazy monkeys.
“Portrait of a Merchant Disguised as Mercury”
“The Pensive Boy”
Looks like a party!
“Lost Illusions” or “Evening” – Charles Gleyre
“View of the North Cape” – Peder Balke
“Jester with a Lute” – Frans Hals
“An Italian Seaport” – Johannes Lingelbach
Another king trying to inject himself into the bible?
The buffest Jesus yet!
Spoooky. Wonder where they showed this piece? A church??
This guy really did have some pull. He’s a real person.
A very honest expression. Has to be tough to be in the church.
This actually is the story to Clash of the Titans.
This is actually a painting of a queen presented the head of some guy! Yikes!
Looks a bit like Brad Pitt?
What a character.
“The Eruption of Vesuvius” – Michael Wutky
Ren̩ Descartes РA founder of modern math.
Doesn’t this guy look like Larry Ellison?
This is why you need guys around.
The original dating app.

Artifacts

Napoleon

One of the things I was told was that in France Napoleon is appreciated, but outside of France he’s seen as another authoritarian dictator.

That “N” means “Not your chair”

The Journey Continues…

The first nice looking guy with a sculpture.

Muslim Artifacts

They didn’t have much Muslim stuff.
I think this one is Muslim.

Onto The Next Thing

Looks like the knight who fought the dragon to save the woman.
Looks like a happy couple 🙂
This statue came with a spooky story. Look for “Saint Valerie Carrying Her Head”
Creepy…
Reminds me of Thor Björnsson. I bet that guy was really strong.

That’s it folks. You’ve seen all the things I thought were cool in the Louvre 🙂 My images are about 1/100th of all the stuff they’ve got there!
