We have all heard of it. Perhaps the most famous piece of art in existence. Leonardo Da Vinci’s masterpiece is a must see for anyone visiting the Louvre. Let us tell you, the cost of the ticket, the line, the elbowing your way up to the painting, it is all worth it. It is just as splendid and beautiful as they say. |

This lovely marble sculpture “The Winged Victory” portrays the Goddess of Victory, Nike. A 2nd century BC sculpture found in the ruins of Samothrace, a Greek island in the north of the Aegean sea. Here you will see intricate details of the flowing drapery and the almost lifelike wings. The dramatic pose the goddess is striking is truly an awe-inspiring sight. |

A fantastic work of the Hellenistic Period, found on the Greek island of Melos. It is to this day unclear exactly who is represented in this statue. Is it Venus, the goddess of love and beauty? Or perhaps Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon? The unclear nature of the piece only makes people want to see it more! |

Carvaggio was a bit of a troubled soul. He died in 1610 at the young age of 38. His life may have been short, but his paintings are abundant. This painting, originally commissioned for Santa Maria della Scala in Rome, depicts “Dormition” of the Virgin Mary. Fear not! She is not dead, only sleeping. Everyone thinks she is dead, and are thus mourning her. |

Michelangelo was commissioned to create a monumental tomb for Pope Julius II in 1505. The tomb would have had over 32 different statues as part of the composition. It was never finished, most likely because Julius II diverted funds to other building projects. All that remains are partially carved figures that are practically breaking out of the marble. |
This masterpiece painted in 1807 by Jean-Louis David depicts the coronation of Napoleon. He famously ripped the crown out of the pope's hand, declaring that he did not need God’s help to take power.
