The Musee D’Orangerie<\/a> is adjacent to the Louvre and is a wonderful art gallery mainly of late 19th century and early 20th century art works, but in particular, Claude Monet’s water lily series.<\/p>\n

These were all shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 II Micro Four Thirds camera<\/a> with Olympus mZD 7-14mm f\/2.8 pro lens<\/a> such as the above and below image, and the Olympus mZD 25mm f\/1.2 pro lens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some of Claude Monet’s famous water lily paintings:<\/p>\n

\"Monet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Monet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Monet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Monet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Monet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite their dominance in the gallery, there is far more to see such as these:<\/p>\n

Claude Monet’s Argenteuile<\/em> 1875: <\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pablo Picasso’s Femme au tambourin<\/em> 1925:<\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul Cezanne’s Arbres et maisons<\/em> 1885-86:<\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Henri Matisse’s Les trois soeurs<\/em> 1916-17:<\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marie Laurencin’s Danseuses espagnoles<\/em> 1920-21: <\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The unmistakable style of Amedeo Modigliani and in this case, Femme au ruban de velours<\/em> 1915:<\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maurice Utrillo (1883-1955), who even in his early life was plagued with mental illness, was essentially raised by his grandmother, and was the son of an 18 yr old artist’s model with speculation that his father may have been Renoir or one of the other artists she had modeled for. He was born in Montmartre and like many artists, lived a very bohemian life style. His mental illness was exacerbated by alcoholism and he spent some time in mental asylums.<\/p>\n

I am guessing these ladies walking with a painter made Maurice Utrillo’s world go round after the war ended – La Maison Bernot<\/a><\/em> 1924 – the bell tower of the Sacr\u00e9 Coeur basilica which was completed in 1912 was cropped when I took the photo and is not shown:<\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gustave Moreau’s La Toilette<\/em> 1885-90: <\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pablo Picasso’s Saltimbanque aux bras croises<\/em> 1923:<\/p>\n

\"D'Orangerie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, for something completely different – Hans Hartung’s T 1963 K7<\/em> 1963:<\/p>\n
