Sculpture d’Antinoüs représenté en Osiris (marbre, vers 130). La statue a fait partie de la collection Albani et appartient maintenant aux collections du #Louvre. #LouvreMuseum

French artist Eugène Delacroix painted this work after his 1832 journey to North Africa, and it quickly became one of the best-known images of 19th-century French Orientalism. Its brilliance lies in color, surface, and mood as burnished reds, smoky greens, mauves, and pearly whites create a suspended moment that feels private rather than dramatic. Four women occupy an intimate interior, though only three are seated together at the center of the scene while a fourth, a Black “attendant,” walks by at right in profile, her body turned as if she has just paused mid-step. At left, one woman reclines against stacked cushions, looking at us with a calm, slightly tired gaze. She wears layered necklaces, a low white chemise, and richly trimmed garments in cream, gold, coral, and blue. The two women in the middle sit cross-legged on a carpet, leaning subtly toward one another. One wears a translucent blouse and abundant jewelry. The other, dressed in white with pink trim and green trousers, lowers her head toward a hookah placed on the tiled floor. Slippers, a small brazier, patterned rugs, ceramic wall tiles, a red cabinet with glass vessels, a gilt mirror, and a heavy curtain deepen the room’s textured quiet. Light skims skin, silk, gauze, and metal, making the atmosphere feel both hushed and sensuous. The painting also asks for careful viewing. This is not a neutral document of Algerian life, but a French artist’s constructed vision shaped by colonial-era fascination, selective access, and unequal power. The women are presented as inward, self-contained presences rather than active performers, which gives the scene unusual psychological depth. The standing attendant complicates the picture further, drawing attention to race, labor, and hierarchy inside this luxurious space. Acquired by the French state in 1834, the painting later became a touchstone for generations of artists, including Picasso, who returned to it repeatedly.

News/Opinion: The Louvre underts new security protocols as four additional cameras... more were arrested in the jewelsheist. Louvre Museum’s Response to a Jewel HeistIn the heart of Los Angeles, amidst the bustling streets of Malibu, stands the Louvre Museum—a treasure trove of art, history, and modern architecture. But as tensions rise over a jewel heist that led to a devastating $102 million loss, the museum faced immediate security challenges. Here’s how it addressed those issues:### The Jewel Heist: The Drama BeginsOn June 15, a jewel heist took place near the museum’s jewelry shop, where customers bought high-value necklaces and earrings for personal use or resale. The theft occurred within just eight minutes, highlighting the museum’s commitment to preserving its cultural heritage. The loss was not only an economic blow but also a financial disaster for the museum and its supporters.### Investing in SecurityTo address these security concerns, Louvre moved to expand its security measures. The museum invested heavily in upgrading its camera systems from Sony, which are now capable of capturing high-resolution footage, including both live-action and motion. These cameras will monitor jewelry sales and customer interactions, providing a clear picture of who is buying what and spotting suspicious activity.### Surging Camera SalesThe museum has sold over 500 tickets to customers who had recently visited the museum for jewelry purchases. This strategic approach allows the museum to monitor transactions before they occur, reducing the risk of theft or fraud.### Four Arrested in the HeistWith a comprehensive security strategy, four jewel thieves were arrested during the incident. Their actions underscored the importance of robust security measures and highlighted the necessity of investing resources into preserving one’s cultural heritage.### The Museums’ Commitment to HeritageEven amidst the financial loss, Louvre Museum remains deeply committed to its heritage. It continues to protect the museum’s collection through special exhibitions and events. The museum is dedicated to serving its customers, ensuring they have access to their treasures without interruption.### Closing ThoughtsThe jewel heist incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by museums when dealing with high-value assets. However, Louvre Museum has demonstrated resilience by investing in new technologies and expanding its security measures. With these changes, Louvre continues to prioritize preserving its mission while addressing immediate security concerns.### Quote from a Security Expert“Technology is not the answer. Security is.” – [Name of Expert]In light of this event, Louvre Museum shows that even in the face of significant losses, institutions have the determination and resources to preserve their cultural heritage and connect with their customers.------#News #featured #Louvre #LouvreMuseum #LouvreMuseumcameras #Louvremuseumheist #LouvreMuseumjewels #LouvreMuseumticketprices #LouvreMuseumticketsales
