The Louvre Museum in Paris has a huge collection that includes many of the world’s best-known artworks. Wendy Evans will discuss many of its highlights, including ancient art like the Venus de Milo, Renaissance works including Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Michelangelo’s sculptures for the tomb of Pope Julius II, and French masterpieces like Jacques-Louis David’s Coronation of Napoleon and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’ Grande Odalisque. She will also explore some less-famous well-known works to give us ideas of what to look for on future visits. Wendy Evans was raised among the museums of London, England, and holds advanced degrees from Oxford University and Wayne State. She taught art history at Wayne and is a long-time docent volunteer at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Wendy loves to share her passion for art with groups like Elderwise.
