day five (3): musée le louvre

Le Louvre. Paintings.

What is interesting about the Louvre, is that there are roughly over 6000 paintings in it's collection, or, just about the same amount of photos we took on our trip to France... coincidence???

This really was a chance of a lifetime for me. I got to see some of my all time favourite pieces of art. This really was a dream come true...

Not only one, but TWO Saint-Sébastien... hanging across from each other...

The first by:
Andrea Mantegna



the second by:
Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci
