L'Apres-midi du Louvre

9/27/2013

Yesterday i spent the afternoon at the Louvre, mostly to look at what they had in the way of Dutch still life painting, but also to have a glance around at the new Islamic art section. Getting in was way easier than i remember from the past, with the hardly any queues at security or the automated ticket kiosk. But the museum did seem just as busy and full of people. Here's the new Islamic Art section....

And this is one of my favorite places, the Apollo Gallery which also looks amazing at night...

Wandering further in search of what i thought i remembered as a whole room of Dutch still life painting i kept getting pulled over to the windows to look out at the views...

And finally, the home stretch. Only it's not a room of Dutch still life painting. It's french painting and its a whole whack of Chardins. And as i walked into the room i remembered exactly the overwhelming feeling i had when i first saw them. It was kind of a 'deja vu' or deja felt. It was like running into an old friend on the street who you didn't even know was in the city and how happy you were to see them.
