Musée d'Orsay: Ground Floor Rear Gallery
Paris, France - September 2016
"Les Quatre Parties Du Monde Soutenant La Sphère" ("Four Parties of the World Supporting the Sphere") - plaster sculpture by Jean-Baptise Carpeaux.
The Musée d'Orsay in Paris, a former railway station converted into an art museum houses many artwork built dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. It houses the largest collection of impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world, by painters including Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Sisley, and many other masters. It is one of the largest art museums in Europe.
Tip: When visiting the museum, go to the 5th Floor first as it houses art work by the impressionist.
These are the photos taken of the artwork at the museum, for presentation purposes and due to photography angle, many of these have been cropped, and edited to compensate for low lighting. It is better to visit the museum as nothing beats seeing the originals.

This blog comes in several pages. The ground floor of the museum is very large and to manage the many number of pieces on display, I have separated the Ground Floor into several sections. This page is on the art pieces seen at the REAR SECTION OF THE GROUND FLOOR gallery (known as the Luxemborg Rooms) ; click below to navigate to other sections:
< Go to Gr Flr Front            |          Go To Gr Flr Main           |     Go to Gr Flr Opera >
For easier orientation within the gallery, here is a floor layout plan of Level 0 (Ground Floor). The rooms are numbered from #1 to #23.
