Reflections on Paris: The Louvre

On our trip to Paris we visited the most impressive Louvre. I wasn't all that excited to go but once we started our 3 hour trek through just a sliver of this massive museum I was glad I went. I love art depicting Christ or Bible stories and the Louvre had many beautiful paintings of this kind. In this slide show you will see a painting of St. Sebastian, a Roman soldier who was shot through with arrows for his faith. The catacombs I visited in Rome were the St. Sebastian Catacombs. You will also see a painting of John the Baptist's head on a platter, David holding the head of Goliath, and many paintings beautiful depicting Christ. The most famous painting at the Louvre is the Mona Lisa- she was fun to see. Near the end you will see Matt standing next to his favorite painting. It cracked me up that they had this painting in a museum with such famous pieces. We only had time to go through the paintings and catch a few great sculptures on the way out. I may have to go back to Paris just to see the rest of the Louvre and to have some more croissants!
