You know I hated the Pyramid at the Louvre when they first put it up...........
..............Now I find it one of my favorite features........Artistic tastes do change...........
The Emperor Tiberius...
I can not believe I cut off the god Herme's Hat!!
Claudius
Julius Caesar
My all time Favorite Sculpture. Emperor Augustus, also known as Octavius. I enjoy Roman Sculpture more than Greek even because it is more realistic, Even showing off Octavius's large ears and baby face. Still he was the first True Emperor of Rome and Crushed those who killed his Uncle Julius...........
Plus there is a little bit of Dutch Harbor with him..............LOL
Winged Victory
Bacchus
And the King who made it all possible.

Kim you are so right we can be "armchair" travelers through DHD

Your photos are fabulous...I lived in Paris for 4 years and they made me homesick.
CB awesome pictures. I so enjoy the roman sculptures. I have always thought their depictions of the Gods and humans were so much more realistic. I studied 2 courses of Greek Mythology in college often times I turned to the Roman interpretations of the myths/ legends/ events etc. The Roman translations but things in a more realistic light.
Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Just like mamawas said....armchair travelers...
Thanks so much for sharing your photos...amazing!
So can we chose your next destination lol? I vote for Norway! Can you let all the boys know we wish them a Happy Halloween! I hope we are gonna get a lot of pics from this year.
these are all awesome!i wish i could visit the Louvre myself one day :)
if you ever get the chance you also should visit the Museum's Island in Berlin. A lot museums, sculptures and history. fromc ancient Rome to Egypt and modern times :D
May I join your merry band? I've been enjoying your blog for a while now, being a DC fan, and bi-boatular at that. Your pics are always awesome, and I LOVED the Louvre. I just have to say I absolutely hate the pyramid at the Louvre. I almost died when I saw it. I don't recall, did you say you went to the d'Orsay, it inspired a great love of Renoir in me. Love your blog, I think you're a doll!
We were at the Louvre this past May and I snapped quite a few photos, but now I'm having difficulty identifying them!
Do you know the artist and name of the sculpture of the man sitting on the wheel? It looks to be a bronze.
