Saw this piece in the apartments of Napoleon III in the Louvre. Yep, the walls are really that orange. Paris, France; July 2016.

The orange looks like an interpretation of the fires associated with battle, the way I remember warrior movies were introduced back in the 60's and 70's. It must be a wallpaper (?) because I'm seeing a slight crosshatch pattern in some of the red, the kind of texture a camera picks up whether we want it to or not. Here, I think it enhances the image.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

That background sure sets off the sculpture, and I really like sheen that I can see on the sculpture, really nice. tigs=^..^

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫

Smiles at the fiery, persimmon orange. No one can accuse Napoleon of subtlety. Still, it does compliment the sculpture.

I have to admit that I suffered a moment of horror, when (at first glance) it looked as if the ground soldier was swinging his own severed left arm at the horseman. Eek! But a closer look revealed that he's actually holding a club. Whew! Still gruesome mind you, but less gruesome.

This is a cool photograph. Great for a wallpaper!
