Paris

The Louvre houses one of the world's richest collection of masterpieces in the world. The magic of this former royal residence comes to life as we unveil the incomparable artwork and history inhabiting these colossal corridors. We will embark on our Louvre exploration in the medieval section to understand the origin and evolution of the palace's construction. We then transcend into the antiquities, viewing the ancient Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculptures featuring the Venus of Milo and The Victory of Samothrace. Next, we immerse ourselves into the sumptuous decoration of the Apollo Gallery where the French crown jewels are still encased. Then we will behold the 1000 ft long Great Gallery which displays the Italian masters of the Renaissance such as Botticelli, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci (including the infamous Mona Lisa). We'll conclude with some of the largest paintings in the Louvre including one-of-kind masterpieces by the most notable 19th-century French painters like David, Gericault and Delacroix.

So much more than the Mona Lisa...

Discover the Louvre Museum

Even after many years, each time I enter the Louvre, I get the same feeling: I just can't wrap my head around the fact that such a large number of world known master-pieces are all displayed in the same place, one next to the other!

Since my youngest age, my father, an Italian art historian and architect, encouraged me to study and make copies of the great masters. I grew up literally surrounded by Leonardo and Michelangelo Drawings, covering our living room walls. Ranging from Greek and Roman antiquities and Italian Renaissance, to French Romanticism and Dutch Golden Age painters. . .

You can imagine how the Louvre is a wondrous playground for me!

Now that I have become a painter, an art educator, and a licensed tour guide, I am proud to share my passion and knowledge with you, using my artist's eye and academic background to make your Louvre experience even more unique.

Let an artist and professional art guide show you the Louvre's most iconic masterpieces!
