Paris – Musée d’Orsay

I woke up Saturday still giddy from my trip to the Louvre, so I headed to the Musée d’Orsay to get another fix. Unlike the Louvre, this museum has been designed so that there’s a natural flow to the painting collection. It definitely helps that the Musée d’Orsay has a manageable collection size. Here are a few of my favourites (with links below to the museum website with background information about each):

Ferdinand Hodler “The Woodcutter”


Eugène Jansson “Proletarian Lodgings”

Finally, this one might have been my favourite:

Gustave Caillebotte “The Floor Scrapers”
