Louvre Guided Tour Preview
"Victory
of Samothrace"
Samothrace (island in the North Aegean Sea)
Circa 190 BC
For the Greeks, the goddess of Victory (Nike) was a
beautiful young woman endowed with wings. This exceptional
monument, raised upon the isle of Samothrace, set in a niche
overlooking the sanctuary of the Great Gods, celebrates
success at sea. The goddess stands on the prow of a galley,
resisting the gusty storm, her right arm undoubtedly held
high. It was an ex-voto of the Rhodians for a victory won at
the beginning of the 2nd century BC: the attitude and the
animated draping prefigure the reliefs for the altar of Pergamum.
 "Venus de Milo"
Melos (the Cyclades islands) Circa 100 BC
In spite of lacking attributes, the size and the
attitude of this statue allow its identification as a
goddess: Aphrodite, often represented half nude, or Amphitrite, goddess of the sea, venerated on the island of Melos. The style is characteristic of the late Hellenistic
period, which revives classical themes while innovating.
Thus the slipping drapery on the hips entails a closed
stance and introduces an instancy to the figure. It hides
the joint between the two blocks of marble that were
sculpted separately, as were the left arm and leg, according
to an utterly new technique.
The Mona Lisa
(1479 - d. before 1550) also known as La Gioconda 1503-1506
If Vasari is correct, the portrait which Leonardo took to
France, that was acquired by François I, was of the Mona
Lisa, who in 1495 married Francesco di Bartolomeo di Zanoli
del Giocondo. The title "La Gioconda" would thus derive from
this notable Florentine's surname. But in Italian "gioconda"
also means a light-hearted woman. With a lasting effect on
Italian art, this portrait stood for an ideal. The smile
that gives her life is, however, a feature of many of
Leonardo's figures. Several scholars have concluded that the
portrait was worked on over a long period, starting around
(1505-1506 in Florence, and it was finished during the
course of Leonardo's peregrinations in Milan or Rome.

The Louvre Guided
After
having been picked up from the lobby of your
downtown hotel in Paris, you will be accompanied
by our driver guide to The Louvre for a guided
tour of this amazing Museum to admire its 3 main
works: the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of
Samothrace and the Mona Lisa, painted by
Leonardo da Vinci at the beginning of the 16th
century. You will then be free to spend a little
more time in the Louvre to visit other sections
of the largest museum in the world.
The Palace
"A medieval fortress, the palace of the kings of
France, and a museum for the last two centuries,
the architecture of the Louvre Palace bears
witness to more than 800 years of history."
Two
Centuries as a Museum

the Louvre Museum, in the company of the
Ashmolean Museum (1683), the Dresden Museum
(1744) and the Vatican Museum (1784) is one of
the earliest European museums."
The Collections
"Divided into 8 departments, the Louvre
collections incorporate works dating from the
birth of the great antique civilisations right
up to the first half of the XIXth century,
thereby confirming its encyclopedic vocation."
 Renovations
of the Grand Louvre
"The "Grand Louvre" is a part of the "Grand
Travaux" or Major Works defined by the President
of the Republic Francois Mitterrand, which also
includes the new Bibliotheque Nationale de
France, the Opera Bastille and the Grande Arche
de la Defense."
