I did more in France than take pictures of bus stops named after famous scientists. Here are a few of my favorite paintings from the Musee d’Orsay:

The Disciples Peter and John Running to the Sepulchre on the Morning of the Resurrection, Eugene Burnand, www.artbible.info

The Gleaners, Jean-Francois Millet, Wikipedia, Musee d’Orsay

Regatta at Argenteuil, Claude Monet, www.artrenewal.org, Musee d’Orsay. I’ve always wondered why there is a giant penguin hiding behind the bushes to the right of the house.

Jerusalem: It is Finished, Jean-Leon Gerome, www.artrenewal.org, Musee d’Orsay

Starry Night over the Rhone, Vincent van Gogh, Wikipedia, Musee d’Orsay
