Le Musée d'Orsay, Paris

Discover the Musée d'Orsay.


Montparnasse is in the background to the left.

We visited the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection at length and left saturated with images. There were a number of artists and paintings that we did not know. We finished up with a Soupe à l'Oignon and salad at a nearby Brasserie. Perfect for a cool day.

Two works (among many) that I particularly liked because of technique and detail:


Monet - Déchargeurs de Carbon (Unloading Coal)

And I loved Henri-Edmond Cross whom I did not know.
