The Minotaur ready for his next victim in the labyrinth. Digital Ai creation made with Midjourney and Adobe Photoshop.
Thésée combattant le Minotaure (Theseus Fighting the Minotaur), on display in Cour Puget in the Richelieu Wing, was completed in 1826 by French sculptor Étienne-Jules Ramey. This monumental marble group captures the climactic moment of Greek heroism: Theseus subdues the monstrous Minotaur, depicted with a muscular human body and a bull’s head. Theseus kneels over his foe, gripping him by the horn and pinning him with his knee, raising his club for the final blow. Executed in a dynamic neoclassical style, the composition reflects both anatomical precision and theatrical drama. Commissioned by Louis XVIII following the successful display of the plaster model in the 1822 Salon, the marble was completed and shown at the 1827 Salon before being placed in the Tuileries Garden. After several relocations within the garden and a final removal in 2022, it now resides in Cour Puget.
The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum and one of its largest, housing over 35,000 works of art from prehistory to the 19th century. Originally built as a fortress under Philippe Auguste in the late 12th century, it was transformed into a royal palace and later into a public museum during the French Revolution in 1793. Its collections span eight departments, including Egyptian antiquities, Greek and Roman art, Islamic art, sculpture, decorative arts, paintings, prints, and drawings. The museum is organized across three wings—Denon, Sully, and Richelieu—surrounding the Cour Napoléon. The modern glass Pyramid entrance, designed by architect I. M. Pei and inaugurated in 1989, unifies the historic palace complex while serving as a symbol of the museum’s global identity.

The ancient Agora of Athens was a meeting place of the polis, used assemblies of free citizens. It has existed since around the 5th century BC. The agora represents a significant step in the development of Athenian democracy.
In 480 BC, the Persians conquered Athens, destroying much of the city and the agora. Sooin after the reconstruction began. Therefore, many new buildings were built during this period.
In the 2nd century BC, Athens increasingly became the spiritual center of the Mediterranean world. Rulers of various countries began to demonstrate their power and culture by constructing buildings in Athens.
The Stoa of Attalos was covered walkway in the Agora. It was built by and named after King Attalos II of Pergamon, who ruled between 159 and 138 BC. This was a gift to the city for the education that Attalos received there. The building was constructed on the east side of the agora and was used from approximately 150 B.C. onwards. The stoa's dimensions are 115 by 20 metres and it is made of marble and limestone.
Museum of Ancient Agora
The Museum has been housed since 1957 in the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos. The museum’s exhibition features finds from the excavations in the Ancient Agora dating from the Neolithic era until the Post-Byzantine times.

When you touch me, I die just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love, this could be love
'Cause you're out of this world, galaxy, space and time
I wonder if this could be love (Venus)

Settlement in the city area dates back to the pre-Minoan period. Architectural remains have been found from the end of the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age.
The city flourished during the Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods as one of the island's most important ports. During Venetian times, the city was destroyed three times: first by an earthquake in 1508, then by Turkish pirates in 1538, and finally by the Venetians themselves in 1651. This last destruction occurred during the Cretan War. Lacking the resources to withstand a prolonged siege by the Turks, the Venetians destroyed the fortifications and relocated the garrison to Heraklion. The inhabitants migrated west, and the town remained deserted for the next 200 years of Turkish rule. The city was rebuilt after the Cretan Revolt until 1870. Today it has almost 20,000 inhabitants.
The Archaeological Museum features finds from the wider area, dating back to the period between 3500 BC and 500 AD.
Such Minoan bull heads are being excavated throughout Crete. The infamous Minotaur also had such a head.

At that time, I was inspired by Dali. This is one of my earlier paintings completed in Canada, one year prior to entering the University of Lethbridge Art Department.
