The Louvre - Paintings

I deliberately booked tickets for the first possible entrance to The Louvre so we could make an immediate beeline for the most famous painting in the world.

In this entry are photos of the paintings that made an impression on me. Truth be told, I wasn't terribly interested in most of the paintings because the collection was almost exclusively made up of religious themed art from several centuries ago. The intersectionality between religion, violence, and sensuality was in evidence everywhere, and that made me uncomfortable. I was also both amused and disturbed that so many of the images were sexualized. For example, who would expect John the Baptist to be muscly and hot?Weiterlesen
