I can’t believe I went to the Louvre before I read Art Heist, Baby. What was even the point of going before them. What the fuck.

When it became evident that the Nazis would take Paris, the Louvre began to evacuate; they started with the most vital pieces, like the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory. Here she is being moved for transport out of the city to hopeful safety. I find the photos fascinating, the endeavor foolish and beautiful. And it worked.
Always acknowledging the human and cultural loss, millions of people exterminated in the Nazi death machine, we also lost art to the largest scale theft and looting the world has ever seen before or since. There are still paintings missing, and those that can never be restored to their owners or heirs.
But a lot was saved, and came back. Truly it should be in Greece and not in the Louvre, but today I got to stand in front of the Nike of Samothrace and spit in Herman Goring's eye.
Fascism can't beat art, not forever.
[ID: three images; top two are black and white photos of the Nike of Samothrace, a woman with backswept wings, draped in fabric and missing her arms and head; in the top photos she is wrapped in rope and being hoisted onto a cart, then moved down a flight of stairs. Below, my own photo, Nike sits in triumph in the Louvre once more, lit by sunlight from an unseen window.]

Front and (a rare) back photo of the 10ft tall "Athena Velletri" a Roman marble copy of an original Greek bronze. The original bronze statue was mentioned by the Roman traveller Pausanius as being situated on the Acropolis in Athens. Her right arm originally held a spear whilst her left is generally believed to have held a phiale (a libation bowl), although a statue of Nike has also been suggested. Found in Italy, she currently resides in the Louvre 🏛🏺
