For two days we have intensively used the museum pass. A has organized the visits, three to the Louvre for an overview, sculpture, then Franch and Italian painting. He is an enthusiastic and curious visitor, who bought a book about the Louvre’s collection and read it between visits. One of his favorites is David’s Rape of the Sabine Women. That’s rape in the sense of kidnapping. His favorite part of the work is a menacing baby in the bottom front. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger image.
