About This Image

The Louvre Museum started life as a Medieval Fortress and evolved into a French Renaissance Palace. That’s the skin of what we see when we look at the beautiful exterior, but, of course, what’s inside is an amazing art collection. And in the 1980’s when they needed to build a new way to move crowds into the Louvre Museum, the glass pyramid you see pictured here in the Cour Napoléon was the answer.

I love the courage to mix old and new. Some would have made the entrance less noticeable, or tried to blend it into the original architecture of the old Louvre Museum, but this is a daring artistic statement!

I have to say even though I’d seen images of the entrance to the Louvre Museum, I was unprepared for how impressed I would be by this space. As luck would have it, this was my last day in Paris so if I wanted to see the art inside, I couldn’t devote all my time to photographing the courtyard.

At the same time, I had to spend some time exploring the beautiful architecture of the Louvre, as you can see, and I think this wide angle photo of the Louvre Museum really captures that feeling of wonder I had seeing that beautiful space. To be honest some of my favorite details in this print aren’t the architecture ones but the people sprinkled throughout the scene. This print of the Louvre courtyard wouldn’t be the same without them would it? They provide both a sense of scale and you can see in their posture even that they have that same sense of awe as they gaze at the old and new of the Louvre Museum.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
