We went to the Louvre, the Orangerie, the
Pinacothèque and
Galerie w in rue Lepic. For a lengthier appreciation you can't do better than read
Harry's Café blog entry.
Here are a few extras -
 |
| Venus en armes - I was quite taken by the little one trying on the helmet. |
 |
| Lion - "I'm just a pussycat" |
 |
| El greco - St Louis |
 |
| Madame Récamier - Jean Louis David |
 |
| Paris and Helen - Jean Louis David - the faces are very delicate and fine |
From the Orangerie - Chaim Soutine - Arbre Couché
and the occasional facetiousness, such as my seeing Karl Marx's portrait in the Nymphéas, takes nothing away from the sheer brilliance and beauty.
