The Louvre - part 2


Botticelli: "Venus and the Three Graces Presenting Gifts to a Young Woman".


I love how Botticelli paints the eyes. When I first discovered Google Art, the first thing I searched for was "Allegory of Spring", and zoom right into her eyes.



If you like iconography and religious art, there is a very large collection of iconography painted on wood.


And the largest collection of Leonardo da Vinci paintings is also on the Lovre.

The Virgin and the child with Saint Anne - da Vinci
Portrait of a Woman: La Belle Ferronniére  - Leonardo da Vinci


The largest painting I have seen in my life: "The wedding feast at Cana":
