It has been two days since I have done my blog so here's what has happened so far.  On the first day we went to the Musee d'Orsay where we saw art from 1838-1931 more or less.  We met our guide Marie outside the museum and the first piece he showed us was called La Despoir.  Our guide Marie told us that it was a statue from the classical school of art.  This means art from the middle ages to the 1800's, where all subjects of art whether paint or sculpture were about mythology or religion or the royals.  An interesting fact about the classical sculptures is that the eyes were blank meaning that they did not have emotions represented in them.  As we traveled through the museum we learned that most statues represented a story.  One of them told they story of an evil man, Ugolin.
