And the 'leaves' one -- second to last -- was cut from a single piece of marble, I think... or something stupidly amazing to that effect. (I really, really liked that Villa.) Oh!

I remember seeing the Winged Victory at the Louvre. It's so beautiful. I wonder how it looked whole. I guess the fact that we'll never see it whole just adds to its ancient mystique.

I only went to Paris once and it was for one day, and we ran around trying to take in as many sights as we could, which meant only seeing the Louvre from the outside. It sounds like an incredible experience, and the sculptures are amazing!! Wonderful photos!

I mean the fact that you can see the indentations he makes while grabbing her in the last photo is breathtaking, it looks so real, and really captures the title of the piece. You know I love, love, love Nike of Samothrace. When I saw it in person, it brought tears to my ears. I'm such a loser, but words can't describe, it's so powerful. Great pictures!
