Description

This piece beautifully captures the vibrant energy at the entrance of the historic Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The elegant archways and detailed façade are painted with an impressionistic flair, showcasing the grandeur of this iconic landmark. People and cars bustle about, lending a lively atmosphere to the scene, while the soft, painterly strokes imbue it with a sense of movement and life.

Dad's artistic style shines through in this work, with his characteristic blend of expressionism and impressionism. His deep admiration for classical artists like Dufy, Picasso, and Matisse is clear in the vibrant colors and dynamic composition.

This piece reflects Dad's ability to capture the essence of a place, making the viewer feel as though they are right there, experiencing the bustling activity and timeless beauty of the Louvre.

And Dad was certainly moved by what he was painting, because for a classical artist, the Louvre stands as home to one of the most incredible collections of classical art.

Dad visited France in 1977, and on this day, found L'Entree.
