J’adore art

The only thing I really enjoyed immensely in Paris was the vast art it offers.Don’t get me wrong Paris is a lovely, very expensive city, to visit.As an huge art fan, to the sadness of my fellow traveler, I spent a nice amount of time in the Louvre and D’Orsay.Here are some photos from the before mentioned museums.

The Louvre:


Romulus and Remus

Delacroix

“Liberté, égalité , fraternité”

Theodore Gericault-“La Radeau de la Meduse”

Leonardo da Vinci

In front of the Mona Lisa

Gorgon

 

Was glad to see the Mona Lisa and many more paintings in the Louvre but was not as impressed with the museum as I was with D’Orsay.Maybe its because the D’Orsay has more paintings by Van Gogh or because its much smaller and provides a intimate setting for art watching.So here are a couple of paitings that will be with in mind for a long time!

D’Orsay:

I adore van Gogh!

 After I spent a nice amount of money on souvenirs that was it for my art tour of Paris. Being under 26 and from a EU country we had free passes to both of the museums which was brilliant.Highly recommend D’Orsay for all art fans, but a small warning to people who might have vertigo problems, that includes me, there is a huge stairway s, its very high up and not very pleasant to walk on, you can see underneath it made me very dizzy.I only managed because I knew there were a lot of paintings waiting upstairs!:)
