Introduction to Art of

The Louvre

     The following pages are dedicated to the Louvre Museum in Paris France. It is an art Museum that has to be seen to be believed. If you have never been to Paris, you cannot miss this. No matter what your level of art appreciation, you will be overwhelmed by this fabulous museum. Some of the paintings are enormous. Then others are so intricate.  (Some are both!)
     I took camcorder shots of the Mona Lisa that turned out well, but my still shots did not. There was a horde of people surrounding this painting and one had to be persistent just to get close enough to really see it. The painting has a smile on it that is chilling because it is not at all the same as viewing a reproduction. In person she looks at one hauntingly and as if she might be full of mischief. Of course, paintings are not the only works of art in the museum. I have included some of the artworks below and I hope that they will stimulate your appetite to see them for yourself....   The Art of The Louvre The Astronomer Jan Vermeer
