At the Louvre museum. What is contrapposto? Wikipedia says: Contrapposto is an Italian term that means "counterpoise". It is used in the visual arts to describe a human figure standing with most of its weight on one foot, so that its shoulders and arms twist off-axis from the hips and legs in the axial plane. The contrapposto definition is a relaxed and life-like standing pose. The body’s weight is rested on one leg. The figure does not stand stiff and upright but distributes the weight of the body at ease. The classical contrapposto pose requires artists to understand the various counterposed components of the figure. . . . #paris #contrapposto #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parislove #pariscity #villedeparis #iloveparis #parisfind (at Musée du Louvre, Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQ6sieANXH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
