Path of Beauty

A woman walks in the Musée du Louvre, alone.
The museum is completely empty.
We follow this young woman in her dreamlike journey through the different rooms of the museum, between amazement and beauty, art and poetry.


I’ve never been to the Louvre.  Or to Paris. (I know.  I know.  You’ve tiring of this rant.)

I’d like to take this walk to end a long week (and esp. when the museum is completely empty).

Wonderful two minute clip.  And paired with sweet, dreamlike-fitting music by Sigur Ros.

  1. Ahhh, to be allowed to wander through this beautiful temple of art at your own pace, taking in the beauty of these timeless works–the Venus de Milo, Gericault’s “Raft of the Medusa,” the Mona Lisa, David’s “Coronation of Napoleon,” the Nike of Samothrace. Sigh….I have been fortunate enough to visit the Louvre on numerous occasions, but the thrill of a “private visit” would be unparallelled. Thx for the lovely daydream, David!!

  2. sublime. this country boy from the Antipodes has had the privilege of going to the Louvre. pray tell what is stopping you David from buying a ticket and jumping across the Atlantic?

  3. I was there a long time ago and remember that the paintings were huge but the Mona Lisa was surprisingly small. And her smile does follow you from one end of the room to the other. I had to try it out. That alone was worth the trip.

    1. I was having lunch with a colleague who just returned from France. And he mentioned the same thing about the Mona Lisa – she’s bigger than life yet the painting is quite small.

  4. This is so beautiful, I dreamed to be there when it was empty… Thank you dear David, what a nice start for my saturday. Have a nice weekend, love, nia

  5. This was gorgeous and memorable and I’m not going to say anything about Paris, or private visits to the Louvre (well, a client event so not solo, but…). I’m just going to say that I loved the video, and will return to it, for her wonder is contagious and the movie carries one along..

  6. beautifully shot! and I love how they captured the ‘art’ of innocence as her spirit gracefully journeyed the gallery with blissful wonderment. Sacred!… and I hope you get the chance to experience it one day too…
