The Louvre in studies

Using my sketchbook to document various inspiration within my project means that Ive had the chance to complete a number of studies of art within the Louvre which I found most impacting, and in particular the small details of these elements. Below are a few pages from my sketchbook looking at art and sculpture of the Lourve:

The Louvre

As art is a key part of who I am and has shaped my entire life, visiting the Louvre was a natural desire for me, as it is one of the most famous galleries in the world, and houses some of the most stunning pieces of art.
Due to the nature of my current work the Religious pieces on display interested me greatly, as did a lot of the actual architecture of the building. I found myself incredibly moved by a number of the sculptures on display (my favourite two are pictured below).
And obviously a visit to the Louvre wouldn't have been complete without seeing the 'most famous painting in the world'
