II.4.5. INTRODUCTION TO THE LOUVRE

MENU: 2.4.5. Introduction to the Louvre 


PAINTINGS SEND MESSAGES VIA ROMANS, OLD TESTAMENT FIGURES OR THE GODS OF ANTIQUITY  

Adults show kids how to look beneath the surface... 

The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault, 1819

And kids show adults the gift of observation:


Dante's Barque,1822
       
"Mommy, look at the vampire!," an eight-year-old cried out:

 
"That's the best part of my painting!," the young artist said.
-- Eugène Delacroix, age 26
