PEERS RESPONSE:
 After looking through the museums I ended on napoleons apartment-grand salon. My first impression was how beautiful it is, I could only imagine how breathtaking it is in person. It is filled with such bright reds and golds with so many paintings over the walls and ceilings. I can not make out the details in most of the paintings, but they look like they are beautiful pieces. The specific picture I chose to discuss was the one with a round glass table with four black and burgundy chairs surrounding it. It has some type of sculpture sitting on it. Behind it on the wall is a mural of some sort full of greenery, columns designed with statuses at the top, a couple of birds, and some type of red fabric draped across what looks to be a balcony of some sort. The mural on the wall would be considered two-dimensional art because it is painted on a flat type of surface. I think the painting could be an egg tempura painting. Sachant, LeMieux, and Tekippe explained that colored pigments were mixed with egg yolk and that it was a paint that had to be used quickly because of its quick drying process (section 2.4.1.2). The colors are so vibrant so I think egg tempura is the best possibility of what ink that was used.
I can not figure out how to add the picture.
