Mantegna’s meticulous attention to detail and his sculptural rendering of the human form highlight his training in the Paduan school and his interest in antiquity. The melancholic yet idealized figure of Sebastian became a model for later Renaissance depictions. The painting’s provenance traces back to the Gonzaga collection in Mantua before eventually entering the French royal collections under Louis XIV.<br /> <br /> The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum and one of its largest, housing over 35,000 works of art from prehistory to the 19th century. Originally built as a fortress under Philippe Auguste in the late 12th century, it was transformed into a royal palace and later into a public museum during the French Revolution in 1793. Its collections span eight departments, including Egyptian antiquities, Greek and Roman art, Islamic art, sculpture, decorative arts, paintings, prints, and drawings. The museum is organized across three wings—Denon, Sully, and Richelieu—surrounding the Cour Napoléon. The modern glass Pyramid entrance, designed by architect I. M. Pei and inaugurated in 1989, unifies the historic palace complex while serving as a symbol of the museum’s global identity.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/wallyg/">wallyg</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/54559319338/" title="Paris - Louvre: Triptyque de la Vierge et des saints"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54559319338_a84aa0acd5_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Paris - Louvre: Triptyque de la Vierge et des saints" /></a></p> <p>Triptyque de la Vierge et des saints (Triptych of the Virgin and Saints), on display in Room 710 (Grande Galerie) of the Denon Wing, by Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano (c. 1459–c. 1517), dates to the early 16th century.<br /> <br /> Executed in oil on panel, this triptych depicts the Virgin and Child at its center, flanked by saints, including St. Peter, St. Catherine, St. Jerome, and St. Ambrose. Cima’s hallmark style—calm, balanced compositions with luminous color and detailed landscapes—reflects the influence of Giovanni Bellini and Venetian traditions. Likely created for private devotion or a small church, the work exemplifies the serene spirituality and precise draftsmanship associated with the High Renaissance in Venice. Its provenance traces back to royal French collections before it entered the Louvre.<br /> <br /> The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum and one of its largest, housing over 35,000 works of art from prehistory to the 19th century.
