Paris 2013 - Day Eight More Canaletto

Museum Maillol is located in an unassuming building at 61 rue de Grenelle in Saint Germain. Maillol is best known for his scuptures of women. For us Americans a terrific one can be found in the gardens at the Modern in New York City.
The museum is also host to another tribute to Canaletto and his works of Venice. Venice is one of my favorite places and Canaletto is earning a place in my heart too. He painted many commissions for the elite. Venice was a must stop on the 'Grand Tour' for Europe's well to-do. Canaletto's artwork reminded them of the grandeur of Venice and captured life in the city he loved. The exhibit is bit-size and filled with private works (read: see them here because you won't see them any time soon).
A quick walk through Maillol's permanent exhibit will take less than an hour and his sculptures are lovely.

Location:Paris, France
