During my recent journey through Europe, I had the opportunity to visit Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany. It was an amazing contemporary art museum & by far my favorite museum visit during the European trip.

I discovered the work of large scale photorealist painter Franz Gertsch, and was drawn right into this unbelievable painting! Yes...it's a painting!
This sculpture by was so realistic that it took me a minute to realize that this wasn't actually another museum visitor!
