This is indeed sad. I have visited Louvre and I can assure you that except for few good paintings, other paintings are just mediocre. Paintings kept in any of the famous museums or art galleries in India are much better than most of the paintings in Louvre. And Mona Lisa is the most overrated painting in human history. Raja Ravi Verma has painted beautiful paintings of women with much more vivid and intricate details, yet most Indians haven't heard his name or even seen his work.
