Three highlights from the forthcoming TOP 25 selection. For now, these are brief introductions to the works.

Mona Lisa

The Louvre

Mona Lisa

Take a closer look.

It’s worth taking another look at this familiar portrait: the hands, the sheer veil, the landscape behind her shoulders. Don’t limit yourself to just a smile.

Editor’s note. The full story and audio guide are in preparation.

Winged Victory of Samothrace

The Louvre

Winged Victory of Samothrace

Take a closer look.

Her wings are spread wide, the fabric seeming to be caught by the wind. Look at the base: the goddess of victory stands at the bow of the ship.

The Wedding at Cana
