Art Masterclass / by Kylie Fuentes


When in Rome... oh, wait - I'm not in Rome. But you'd forgive me for making that mistake! 

I lost myself in the Louvre today. It is spectacular in every way, not just the art that is housed within it, but also the history of the building, the architecture and the setting it resides in.

I took about a thousand photos (my mum loves art & I thought I'd best bring back some mementos), but for me the absolute stand outs were the sculptural pieces. The level of detail and craftsmanship is breathtaking, especially when you consider they did it all by hand. Those crazy greeks & romans - very skilled!

I really have to say, that while I saw some jaw dropping paintings, overall I think I've come to the conclusion that DaVinci is not for me. That man was very heavy handed with the black paint. All his works are so freakin dark and frankly (in my very art uneducated opinion) boring. 

Some of the highlights are below for your viewing pleasure.
