Day 0049

Enjoyed the Friday night late-opening of the Louvre. Focused on sculpture again, and took sketches of Michelangelo's Dying Slave and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The works are incredibly moving. I saw one girl crying in front of the Victory. It's impossibly powerful. My sketches are miserable but I value the time it gave me to stand in front of the works and concentrate on them. I just wish there were fewer people around, everyone bustling to take a selfie.
