The late 19th and early 20th century was a tumultuous time for the Palace of Versailles. On the one hand, there was a lot of positivity. Artists and writers from across the country – and indeed the world – were keen to celebrate its beauty and history.
Le Petit Palais has just opened its doors on a brand new show celebrating the work of Luca Giordano. The exhibition is titled “The triumph of the Neapolitan painting”, which gives an idea of how much the artist is revered by those working at the gallery.
If you want to immerse in a little high-culture to escape the Christmas vibes in Paris this winter, why not head to Le Grand Palais. Here you can enjoy an exhibition that looks at the work of El Greco. This Cretan artist is highly regarded as being one of the best names to come from Spain, having also founded the Spanish school in the 16th century.
The exhibition marks the 500th anniversary of da Vinci’s death with a new modern way of exhibiting his work and sharing ideas.
The Paris Musée Picasso is currently showcasing a series of these pieces to help Parisians understand what he was creating and how. Magic Paintings is a great chance to focus on a very specific era and compare these works. You can do so until the 23rd of February.
