Louvre Galeries is a level from Tomb Raider - Angel of Darkness. This level is one of the largest in the game.
It is finished. It was a lot of work. I am now sick and tired of this level because so much information, so much pictures.
TRAOD: Louvre galleries VIII
It has been a while.
These selected pictures are updated ones. More can be found at my Louvre Galleries page at the Tomb Raider art Encyclopendia.
Outside the Louvre
Not Guns & roses but oxheads & roses.
These motifs comes from antiquity, and it is called a Bucranium. During the renaissance it was used at buildings. Found a bucranium that looks like it, it came from the Ara Pacis building from 13 BC. But I didn’t found it on the exterior in the Louvre.
Fun fact: there is also a bucranium in Tomb Raider 1: The Cistern
Composed relief
According to Positiveley Amazonian it is a mashup of three plaques.
First one is unclear
But the central figure is similar to the frontispiece of the Parthenon (the so-called metopes), nowadays at British Museum. The image is mirrored, tho. It might be one of the Centaure fights instead of the Panathenian ride walk.
And the last figure is the Athenian lady Hegisto, from the funerary stele that has her name. She appears chosing her jewels from a case a female slave brings her.

Painting of a woman and an angel
Painting made by George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) and it is called "Love and life" made in 1904.
Mountain
The mountain depicts the odd shaped mountains of Cappodocia in Turkey. Göreme.is a town in Cappodocia. So this picture is a view of a location of "Game II". Maybe an easter egg.
Carpet
The designers looked after each detail. On the floor lies a nice Persian carpet. There are a lot of carpets with a block system in the middle.
TRAOD: Louvre galleries VI
These pictures are updated ones, that I first found in 2017. The page Louvre Galleries at my Tomb Raider art Encyclopendia is still under construction but will updated when each part of the level is revealed. Because the level is so huge, I divided the level in parts.
Large room with the Mona Lisa - side 2&3
10.54 - The wedding at Cana
Painting made by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588), called "The wedding at Cana" made in 1562/1563.
In The Wedding Feast at Cana (1563), Paolo Veronese depicts the New Testament story of the Marriage at Cana within the historical context of the Renaissance in the 16th century. In the Gospel of John, the story of the first Christian miracle, Mary, her son, Jesus of Nazareth, and some of his Apostles, attend a wedding in Cana, a city in Galilee. In the course of the wedding banquet, the supply of wine was becoming depleted; at Mary's request, Jesus commanded the house servants to fill stone jugs with water, which he then transformed into wine (John 2:1–11).
10.55 - Unknown painting by Luca Giordano
Painting made by Luca Giordano and has an unknown name. Maybe it is called: "The Israelites are attacked by the Amalekites".
10.56 - Death of the Virgin
Painting made by Carvaggio (1571-1610). It is called: "Death of the Virgin", made in 1606.
The painting recalls Caravaggio's Entombment in the Vatican in scope, sobriety, and the photographic naturalism. The figures are nearly life-sized. Mary lies reclined, clad in a simple red dress. The lolling head, the hanging arm, the swollen, spread feet depict a raw and realistic view of the Virgin's mortal remains
10.57 - The Fall of the Rebel Angels
Another painting by Luca Giordano. It is called "The Fall of the Rebel Angels" made in 1666.
The image of Saint Michael mirrors that of classical iconography, showing its spread wings, with a sword, with a heavenly dress and a red cape; intent on expelling the demons that came from the underworld on the earth
10.58 - Venus and Cupid
Painting made by Lambert Sustris (1515/1520-1584), called: "Venus and Cupid", made in 1554. The painting is now in the Louvre. I think it is about Greek/Roman mythology.
10.59 - Discovery of the true cross
Painting by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. It is called: "Discovery of the True Cross", made in 1745. It is now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice.
The True Cross is the name for physical remnants which, by the tradition of some Christian churches, are said to be from the cross upon which Jesus was crucified.[1]
TRAOD: Louvre galleries IV
These pictures are updated ones, that I first found in 2017. The page Louvre Galleries at my Tomb Raider art Encyclopendia is still under construction but will updated when each part of the level is revealed. Because the level is so huge, I divided the level in parts.
Part four: hall with paintings
10.33 - Painting: Virgin on the rocks
It is called "Virgin of the Rocks", but I pronounce it as "Virgin on the Rocks" like a drink. There are two versions of this painting: Parisian and the London version. This one is the Paris version.
The painting is made by Leonardo da Vinci in 1483-1486. It depicts Madonna and child Jesus with the infant John the Baptist and an angel Uriel in a rocky setting which gives the paintings their usual name.
10.34 - Drawing of an old soldier.
The drawing is made by Leonardo da Vinci between 1504-1505. It is a study of an old soldier for the Battle of Anghiari and is called: "Head study for the battle of Anghiari". It is now in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest.
10.35 - Self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Presumed self-portrait of Leonardo (c. 1510) at the Royal Library of Turin, Italy.
10.36 - Drawing of hands
The drawing was made by Leonardo da Vinci after 1474 and is called: "Study of Arms and Hands". It is considered to be a preliminary study for the painting "Lady with an Ermine".
10.37 - Drawing of a girl
The drawing was made by Leonardo da Vinci circa 1483. It is called "Head of a girl"
10.38 - Drawing of a horse
The drawing was made by Leonardo da Vinci between 1503-1504. It is called "Rearing horse" and now in the Royal Librarian (United Kingdom).
10.39 - Drawing of a man
The drawing was made by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1510/1511. It is called: "Study of a Man". It is now in Musées de Poitiers in France.
10.40 - Another drawing of a man
The drawing was made by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1520. It is called: "Study to Pieta" and probably used for his masterpiece Pieta. It is now in the Louvre.
10.41 - Drawing of man and woman
The drawing was made by Michaelangelo Buonarroti in the first half of the 16th century. It is called: "Madonna and Child with St. John". It is now in the Louvre Museum.
10.42 - Drawing of a man
The drawing was made by Michaelangelo Buonarroti in 1511. It is called: "Study for the Libyan Sibyl". The Libyan Sibyl is a painting in the Sistine Chapel. It is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
10.43 - Head of man
The drawing was made by Michaelangelo Buonarroti in the first half of the 16th century. It is called: "Satyr's head". It is now in the Louvre.
A satyr is a male nature spirit with ears and a tail resembling those of a horse. The creature is known from the Greek Mythology and are companions of the god Dyionysus.
10.44 - Allegorical figure
The drawing was made by Michaelangelo Buonarroti in 1530. It is called "Allegorical figure". One of the drawings which Vasari referred to as "The Divine Heads".
10.45 - Cleopatra
The drawing was made by Michaelangelo Buonarroti from an unknown date and called: "Cleopatra". Cleopatra was the last Macedonian/Greek Pharaoh or Queen of Egypt. This drawing shows the death of Cleopatra with a snake, she committed suicide.

10.29. Statue of Hebe
The statue was made by Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). It depicts the goddess Hebe, the goddess of the youth. One of the many sons and daughters of Zeus. She can be recognised by the cup in her right hand, the cup is filled with ambrosia the food of the gods.
The background of the statue is the same as the background on the Pallas Athene statue. Apparently it is a decoration that looks like the pattern of the seeds in a sunflower: the Fibonacci number, named after Leonardo de Pisa.
10.31 - Overview
This overview reminds me of a particulair area of the louvre. This is called: Salle des Caryatides
