It’s been a few days since I took these pictures — almost a week in fact.  The days in Paris were very full, and the nights were late.  I was able to see the handful of things that I wanted to in the six hours I spent in this gargantuan museum.  Here’s a few pictures that hit some familiar and some high points of the day.

Raft of the Medusa — Gericault

Oath of the Horatii — David
