The last time I was at the Louvre with my family I remembered a certain special painter... and I had the goal for us to find him one more time and get pictures to remember him by. Digital cameras were not available the last time, so the pictures never turned out from our last adventure. I needed documentation. However, I had no idea where he was. I knew he was french, I remembered the layout of the wall that his painting was on, and I could picture the little name plaque under his painting.
Well, after running (yes, literally running, slipping and sliding on the marble floors) through the French galleries of the Louvre 30 minutes before closing, I found him. And not only him, but a whole room of him.
a wall
then the whole room!
Who is it, you ask?
Here's the nameplate....
Yup. We're related.
Grandpa LeSueur was just telling us about this. How cool is that you actually went there and saw it!
ReplyDeleteAwhile ago I noticed you linked to my blog and so I started reading yours. I figured now is a good time to own up to it. Did you know your dear relative Eustache has a piece in the BYU MOA? Yep. I wrote a paper on it. This (really long) link shows his piece.
