Night At The Louvre – Paris Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale

This Paris canvas print depicts a night at the Louvre. Specifically it was my last night there years ago so for me personally there’s a little bit of emotion whenever I see this particular Paris print pop up. I sometimes refer to this as “Ghosts of the Louvre” – partially because of the ghostly people captured during the long exposure but also because of the reminders of my short but phenomenal time in Paris.

But mostly what I love about this scenic view of Paris is the architecture. The glass pyramid serves as the entrance to the Louvre but, as you guessed, it was not always so. And there are some people who feel this addition of such a modern structure was ultimately destructive. I’m not one of those people. I love the combination of the Neoclassical baroque with modern. I think the contrast makes the whole experience more interesting. Of course, we are all welcome to our opinions on things like this.

If you’ve paused to look at this canvas print of the Louvre, I’m going to guess you are in the camp who either likes the architecture or enjoys the reminder of a past trip to Paris? I would love to hear what made you stop and look at this print. If you’d like to share, or if you have questions about my work or prints, etc., please send a message.
