The Louvre Prose on the Seine.

On the second day in Paris, the weather was fine and the pure blue sky was as smooth as a mirror. The sunshine in the summer morning gently caresses the world-famous metropolis Paris. The Seine River that caught our eye is more charming than yesterday. The river is as blue as the sky, and the breeze gently rubs the water surface, and the waves are as smooth as satin. Has the smooth satin-like river been extended to the Seine Bay of the English Channel hundreds of kilometers away as it is now? I'm daydreaming, asking myself and answering myself: it can't be like this, because the Seine makes Paris the third largest port in France, and ships are busy. They often draw long white waves on the calm Seine, and the billowing waves follow the ships to the distance. They are the endless life waves on the Seine.

The four of us traveled westward along the right bank of the Seine River, and started a four-person tour of the Louvre, which was also our dream trip for decades.

As we walked and photographed, the building in front of us was full of traditional aristocratic atmosphere, surrounded by a beautifully hollowed-out iron fence next to the road. The fence was a four-story building, and all the windows were rectangular, with exquisite reliefs on the left, right and upper partitions. The eyebrow lines on the window are arc-shaped and triangle-shaped, which are arranged alternately with each other. The sculptures in the arc-shaped and triangle planes have reliefs of different figures. I stood across the street and looked at this artistically decorated and imposing building. I thought it might be the Louvre. When we go along the road and turn right, we will see a whole building with a U-shaped structure. As I guessed, it is the Louvre. It turns out that we have been walking from east to west, admiring and shooting magnificent buildings. It is the Louvre, which is close at hand.

Today, seeing the true face of the Louvre, my heart began to heat up, and some people were elated. Before you know it, you are walking faster and faster, passing through the Arc de Triomphe in Carcey on the central axis of the Louvre, which Napoleon built to celebrate a series of victories in 185. When I came to the square, I saw a long queue of tourists standing in the sunshine, which shows that everyone is here. The long queue is made up of tourists from different countries, different colors, different sexes, different ages and different costumes. Colorful long queues are also a landscape. In front of us is a beautiful and spectacular picture, the building is the surface in the picture, the long queue is the color curve in the picture, and we are the points in the picture. The basic elements of photography are all there, so quickly lift the camera and press the shutter. The picture in the lens is my witness to the Louvre.

The Louvre in France is open to visitors free of charge on the first Sunday of every month, which is Wednesday, so we didn't take advantage of it. We have to queue up honestly to buy tickets. Several of us lined up in turn and took turns to leave the team to pat the location of the Louvre. I am very interested in the sculpture on the roof of the Louvre, but I can't make the exquisite sculpture stand out more without the telephoto. Actually, it doesn't matter. It's enough to see it with your own eyes. Outside the U-shaped Louvre, I really don't know how many sculptures there are on the roof. In short, I was shocked. This shock does not come from other places, but from a reverence for the precipitation and preservation of foreign cultural history.

The Louvre was built in the 13th century. It was originally the castle of the French royal family, and was later used as the national treasury and archives. It was rebuilt in 1546, so the Louvre has a Renaissance style. The Louvre has undergone many expansions on behalf of the royal family, and its splendor and chic are beyond words. After the turmoil of the French Revolution, the overall construction of the Louvre was completed when it arrived in Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte. On August 1th, 1793, the Louvre was officially opened to the public as an art museum. It has been more than 3 years since it was opened to the outside world. Today, we are fortunate to be able to walk into the museum called "Wanbao Palace".

As the procession slowly creeps forward, it finally approaches the glass pyramid. This glass pyramid is located on the central axis of the Louvre, backed by the ancient palace, and made of modern materials. Its designer is Mr. I.M. Pei, a world-class famous architect, an American Chinese. His architectural works are many. I have only had the privilege of witnessing the Suzhou Museum designed and built by him in his hometown in Suzhou, which has a special charm of Jiangnan water town. The layout of the whole museum is exquisite, and the courtyard-style building is integrated with the Humble Administrator's Garden style separated by the north wall. The glass roof and the stone roof are set against each other, so that natural light shines through the glass into the exhibition area of the museum and the activity area of visitors, giving people the feeling of harmony between heaven and earth. I have visited Suzhou Museum for many times. Although the museum is newly built, the simple white walls and tiles do not lose the heavy feeling. At that time, it was associated with the glass pyramid designed by Master I.M. Pei for the expansion project of the Louvre, which has long been hailed as "a huge gem flying in the Louvre courtyard". His ingenious design is recognized as a great miracle of contemporary architectural art. At that time, I wanted to witness the huge gem with my own eyes.

At this moment, the glass pyramid is in front of my eyes, which is the second masterpiece among all his works I have ever seen. The architectural style of the glass pyramid and its function need not be explained by my book, but by what Mr. Pei himself said: "It foretells the future and makes the Louvre perfect."

enter the Louvre through the entrance of the glass pyramid. He entered the most famous museum in the world. We received a Chinese guide map. As soon as we got this guide map, we first saw the eye-catching safety notice: pickpockets were in the museum. And made clear seven points for attention, all of which begin with the word please. Please close your bag tightly in front of you and don't expose your belongings ... It's very warm.

The Louvre has more than 4, art treasures. When it comes to museums, people naturally think that the treasures of the Louvre are Venus, Mona Lisa and the Statue of Victory. Of course, we are not only here for the three treasures of the town hall, but also to see more precious works of art in a limited time.

The signs of the exhibition halls are equivalent to Braille to us, and we can't understand them at all. We went to the Louvre with a girl from China, because she can distinguish French from English. The Louvre is too big. It is divided into three pavilions: Denon Pavilion, Li Sailiu Pavilion and Xuli Pavilion. There are four floors. For us, each floor is like a maze. Each floor is divided into the above three pavilions. There are many halls, corridors and stairs on each floor, and there are especially many tourists. Many exhibition halls are crowded. The four of us may get separated if we don't pay attention.

There are too many treasures in the Louvre, which are divided into ancient oriental cultural relics (including precious cultural relics in China), ancient Egyptian cultural relics, ancient Greek and Roman art, Islamic art, sculpture, painting and artistic treasures from four continents except Europe. We can't look at all the treasures carefully, and we can't visit all the museums. We can only choose the main ones, the key ones, and it's a cursory tour. However, anyone who has visited the museum and seen a lot of sculptures and paintings is really a feast for the eyes.

We left our footprints from the first floor to the third floor and the fourth floor.

We have enjoyed the French sculptures from the 5th to 18th centuries, the Spanish sculptures from the 11th to 15th centuries, that is, Italian sculptures, and the 12th to 12th centuries are all divided into the above three museums. European sculpture in 16th century, Nordic sculpture in 17th-19th century, Italian sculpture in 16th-19th century. Many sculptures are lifelike, the skin of human body is almost lifelike, the skin of female sculptures is smooth, and the muscles of male sculptures are strong. Of course, Venus, the treasure of the town hall, is the most representative sculpture.

When we got to the second floor, we entered the Italian Painting Hall of the De Nong Pavilion in the Louvre. There were Spanish paintings and Italian paintings from the 13th to 18th centuries, most of which were religious themes, portraits of people and life scenes. Every painting is worth savoring. It's just that time is limited and I can't read the story in the painting, so I move on to the next one. When I walked to a hall crowded with tourists, there was only one oil painting on the whole wall, and it was packed in a thick glass cover. There were many tall European tourists in the whole hall, which blocked the line of sight. Even if the camera was held high, the oil painting could not be photographed. It is the masterpiece Mona Lisa by the world-renowned Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. Anyway, I will squeeze into the front of the oil painting and enjoy the world's top oil paintings. Do you know how difficult it is to get to the front? I leaned over and squeezed hard between people, stood firm, squeezed into people's seams, squeezed left and right, and was so sweaty that I squeezed to the second fence near the Mona Lisa. There are too many people, and everyone is pushing forward. I can't stand still and have no choice. So I raised my camera and clicked two pictures, taking the most mysterious smile in the world. French people are proud of the Mona Lisa, and I am complacent about seeing the original Mona Lisa.

leave quickly, or people who stay in that environment for a long time will suffocate with heat. Just about to "break through the tight encirclement", I turned around and saw a huge oil painting with an area of 7 square meters, which is also the largest oil painting in the Louvre, The Wedding of Ghana. How can I miss such a masterpiece? So I am not afraid of sweating and continue to linger in this hall. I can't avoid the tourists in front of me. I can only photograph the wedding of Ghana with a guest as the foreground and a change of shape.

Almost all the halls in the Louvre have been converted into museums, but there is an area to the west of the Li Sailiu Pavilion on the second floor that retains the original appearance of the Palace, namely the Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte Suite. Here, there are also many tourists.

Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte Suite is extremely luxurious, each suite is resplendent and magnificent, with red velvet curtains hanging on the high French windows, which symbolizes the noble imperial power. The overall warm color is also exciting. The complicated crystal palace lantern is a giant. There are exquisite decorations on the walls of each room, and exquisite paintings or reliefs on the top, which are absolutely exquisite and breathtaking.

The furniture, furnishings and decorations in the suite are all precious works of art.. Different rooms have different furnishings, such as a big restaurant and a long western dining table for thirty or forty people to eat at the same time. There is also a large reception hall with colorful paintings and sculptures, which shows the majesty of imperial power. In the center of the reception hall is a comfortable round sofa, surrounded by several large and small round tables, surrounded by European-style armchairs. It can be seen that the host gives the guests a free and comfortable communication environment.

There are portraits of the emperor and queen in Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte suite, all of which are gorgeous gold-inlaid relief photo frames. In short, there is no luxury. Watching was in full swing. Teacher Deng came to see me and told me that there was a thief here, and he touched his pocket, but he didn't succeed. Remind us to be vigilant and not to stay long. We felt that we had seen enough, so we decided to leave the Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte Suite, which we didn't want to leave.

I went back to the glass pyramid, took a short break, had lunch, and found that there was a wireless network wifi. I immediately connected it, and also helped my friends in the same industry to connect with their mobile phones, so I could send WeChat to my relatives and friends in China and friends in the United States during the break. The eastern and western hemispheres send WeChat to each other, and our relatives and friends are happy. We feel very cool.

Soon, I will leave this huge art palace, the huge gem glass pyramid of the Louvre, and the splendid gem of the Louvre by the Seine. I always feel that I haven't seen enough of the architecture and art treasures in the Louvre, and there are still many treasures I haven't seen, leaving a lot of regrets.

I want to say goodbye most! The Louvre, a brilliant gem on the Seine!
