Giotto di Bondone | 1295 – 1300 | Tempura on Wood | Denon Wing, Room 708 If you’re familiar with the Byzantine art style, you may agree that it can be a little boring. The art style relies on “stiff” figures who lack emotion. You can easily identify Byzantine art as it relies heavily on gold leaf, as seen above. If you’ve seen one Byzantine paintin...
Nicolas Poussin | 1637-38 | Oil on Canvas | Richelieu Wing, Room 828 Nicolas Poussin was an Italian from another mamà. He was born in Normandy and schooled in France, but lived most of his adult career in Rome, which he adored. The Rape of the Sabine Womenis possibly the most famous story in Roman history other than the murder of Julius Caesar. Pou...
Titian | Oil on Canvas | 1509 | Denon Wing, Room 711 The Pastoral Concert by Titian is symbolic of many things but it is a fantasy above all else.

Pilgrims flocked to see it upon completion and have been coming ever since because of its complexities. Take a moment to ent...
Perugino | 1505 | Oil on Canvas | Department of Paintings The Battle Between Love and Chastityis an allegory depicting the internal battle our European ancestors faced. Do you save yourself for a loveless marriage or enjoy sexual freedom now? Modern society does not demand chastity leading up to marriage like it did in the 15th and 16th centuries, ...
Leonardo da Vinci | Oil on Wood | 1503-5 | Denon Wing Room 711 In terms of pure fame, yes, the Mona Lisa belongs in first place on this list. However, in terms of artistic importance, eleven feels like a compromise and I will explain why. It is simply a portrait, which as an art form is not meant to go on to international fame—da Vinci would likely...
Charles Le Brun | Oil on Canvas | Dept. of Paintings, Louis XIV Collection Charles Le Brun was the preferred painter of King Louis XIV who commissioned four paintings of epic proportions. When I first stood in front of one of these four paintings, The Battle of the Granicus River, I immediately thought ofThe Room of Constantine in Raphael’s Stanzei...
Leonardo da Vinci | Oil on Wood | 1483-86 The Virgin Mary sits on “rocks” with three other figures—hence the name. To her right (our left) is John the Baptist kneeling under her protective arm.

Raphael | Oil on Wood Transferred to Canvas | Grande Galeriè Room 710, 12, and 16 Raphael was one of the most influential artists of the Renaissance.
