The Artwork of the Louvre

The old saying goes that a picture is worth a 1000 words.  That could not be any more true than in the Louvre!  Where I could, I have included the name of the work and the artist.  Also, because some of these paintings are so large, I've included the size of the painting so you can better understand the scope of it.
