Marcus Aurelius at the Louvre

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 3 March 2005 in Art & Design.

My mother-in-law, Janette, took me to the Louvre last night (gratuit en plus) ... merci Janette! I had a great time running around taking pictures. This is the bronze portrait of Marcus Aurelius, who wrote one of my favourite quotes: "Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."

This pic also kicks off the new full-height version of Aminus3, limiting pictures only by image width (and not by height as before). I finally gave in to Jason's constant nagging and have to admit it looks a lot better. =)
