Paris.


Wahhh. Three days of joy. I left Paris with a nameless sense of direction after spending three days with a wonderful friend in a truly impressive city staring at art. Let me begin with the Wreck of the Medusa.



This painting attracted me from when I first saw it three years ago and a genius analysis of it in an article read in class clinched the deal. Basicallyyyy this is the volatile human condition. Uh huh. All of that. Riotous, dignified, undignified.

And now the rest:






Tympanum at Notre Dame.


View from my friend's window.


In front of the Louvre.



Across the Seine


Notre Dame



Exiting the Louvre late that night.


Mantegna, a sketch for St. Sebastian. Illegal photograph master strikes again.
