Even if you do not read Chinese, you can enter in the site thanks to some menus in English or more rarely in French. In addition of the painting of John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci, It is particularly interesting to consult the interactive map of the Louvre museum |
Above Jean-Pierre Leaud in the screenshot on the lower right corner,
there is a black and white portrait the head down. The face of the man,
on the book that Fanny Ardant is reading (one only sees her hand),
belongs to François Truffaut who indirectly plays in the movie Face,
because Face is a tribute to the film director of La Nouvelle Vague.
In the photomontage, the index from the right hand of John the Baptist
against an invisible wooden cross shows the Face of Salome just above in background.
The feminine analogy is that the index of the Laetitia's right hand is against the iron bar
of a secret door in the Louvre underground.
