Autumn in Paris #2

During a recent walk in the Tuileries garden, we discovered some more beautiful flowers.


In fact, the flowers were specially chosen using the color pallette of a famous painting.


Throughout 2019, the Louvre museum has been celebrating both the 30th anniversary of the Pyramid's completion and the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci.  Part of the celebration is the creation of lovely flower beds based on da Vinci's paintings hanging in the Louvre, like the Mona Lisa.   


Below are more photos of the Mona Lisa flower beds.  If you look closely, you can see the colors of the flowers mirror colors in the painting.  


Thanks for viewing a flowery version of the Mona Lisa with us.
