The Louvre Part 1 -- Denon Wing

Two Saturdays ago (the 19th) me and my roommate went to the Louvre for some roommate bonding time. Another friend came with but had already seen most of the section we went through so we just met up with her at random points throughout the wing. 
 The coralish looking statue is part of a temporary exhibit (that i didnt see but there are signs for it all over the metros)
 This is "La Vierge et l'enfant tronant" from the beginning of the XIV century.
