Why is it that people travel half way around the world to to the Louvre? Why is it that certain pieces of art capture the attention and imagination's of peoples from all walks of life and age? A timeless piece of art is not bound to the era it was created in but stands on its own for generations. Meaning, that you can show it to someone from any part of the world and they will be captured by it, their age and background rendered irrelevant by the artwork.
