Named Euphrosyne, Thalia and Aglaia, they embody mirth, abundance and splendour. They are the Three Graces, daughters of Jupiter and companions of Venus. A very prized subject as early as the Renaissance, it allowed for a triple representation of the female nude in all its ideal beauty. Observe their grace in the painting by Raphael and the delicacy of their veils in Botticelli’s “La Primavera” or in a magnificent work by Cranach recently acquired by the Louvre Museum.

Built between 1954 and 1961 in Evreux, near Lyon, by Le Corbusier, La Tourette convent was designed to serve as a place of residence, study, and prayer for 100 Dominicans. It is considered one of the masterpieces of contemporary architecture.

The Paris Fine Arts School is one of the oldest and most prestigious art schools. Félix Duban (1797-1870) became its architect in the wake of the 1830 revolution. He would transform this high place of creativity into a veritable palette of architectures. From the Porticus of Octavia in Rome to the Florentine palaces, from the loggias of the Vatican to the polychrome frescoes of Pompeii, everything here is a citation, a souvenir - of Duban's study trip to Italy, for example - but also an ode to the past that remains exemplary for the students. Everything is created to educate the eye of these future artists. Duban thus organizes the general composition of the space around authentic fragments of monuments of the French Renaissance, harmoniously cohabiting different traditions and styles. It is a romantic vision of architecture - in rebellion against the academicism of the time -, a tribute to art as a whole whose perenniality is explained by its very diversity. Archives, models: a fasci

Willy Pierre-Joseph is a professional dancer.

The time of the summer, in a village named La Gacilly, the gardens, the walls of house are transformed to a photo gallery dedicated to the art. Discover the experience of La Gacilly.

He is one of the most controversial artists, yet one of the most influential. Picasso's collection contained mainly Renoirs. Matisse revered him. Monet too. Renoir was crucial to the creation of the Impressionist movement, before rejecting it altogether to embark on a radically different genre, with great success. The Barnes Collection in Philadelphia has more paintings by Renoir than any other gallery in the world, and it's here that we'll attempt to lift the veil on the remarkable story of this incredible artist.

The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this renaissance genius? Who was this ambitious and passionate man?

"I envy the Japanese", wrote Van Gogh to his brother Theo. Thanks to the exhibition on which this film is based, at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, we understand why. Although Vincent van Gogh never visited Japan, it remains the country that had the greatest influence on him and his work. By visiting Japanese art galleries in Paris and creating his own image of Japan after extensive research, print collections and lengthy discussions with other artists, the discovery of Japanese art took van Gogh's career in an exciting new direction.

In 2013, Norway celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edvard Munch (1863-1944), one of the most prominent figures in modern art. Munch 150, co-produced by the National Museum and the Munch Museum, is already being hailed as "the exhibition of a lifetime". Public interest is enormous, as evidenced by the record-breaking $120 million public auction result for one of his four paintings, The Scream. This presentation will take you behind the scenes of how this exhibition came to be, as well as including a guided tour of Norway, outlining the biography of this man whose life spanned the mid-19th century to the German occupation during the Second World War.

Narrated by Gillian Anderson, this episode of Exhibition on Screen follows the footsteps of French artists such as Renoir and Monet, the American Impressionist movement forged its own path. Painted over a period of 40 years, these paintings reveal the United States both as a nation and as a creative breeding ground.

Through fascinating interviews with former models, friends and leading experts, this intensely captivating documentary reveals the work of a master who represents a compelling study of the dynamics of aging and the process of self-representation.

Passionate about horticulture, Monet remains the undisputed master of garden painting in the history of art, but he was not alone.

These great artists, along with many other famous names, are brought together in an innovative exhibition from the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Royal Gallery of Arts in London. From the exhibition itself to the beauty of artists' gardens such as Monet's at Giverny, we take a journey to discover how the modern garden was used to explore radical and wondrous new ideas.

The Birth of Venus... a masterpiece; central to Botticelli's oeuvre and the culmination of Florentine Neoplatonism. We have no archival records or direct documentation: the date, intended destination, and exact identification of the figures are left to interpretation and disagreement among various specialists. An unparalleled iconological training, Botticelli's allegories are a real headache not only for art historians, but also for historians of literature and philosophy, lovers of the occult sciences, and even botanists, astronomers, Kabbalists, historians of Christianity... Perhaps only the Mona Lisa has been the subject of more writings and interpretations than the “Allegory of Spring,” and Venus Rising from the Waves is undoubtedly one of the very few paintings immediately recognizable to the general public.

During the 20th century, the fame of the ‘Mona Lisa’ spread, establishing itself as the most iconic and recognisable painting of all time. It has been exploited in every sphere of culture and advertising, to the extent that its status as a pop icon has almost overshadowed its artistic value and historical significance. But if we consider Leonardo’s achievements as a pioneering craftsman and the unprecedented qualities of this work, the ‘Mona Lisa’ truly marked a turning point in portraiture. A masterpiece that set new standards in its day and which, five hundred years later, has become the very symbol of art.

Where do we start when we want to talk about such a famous painting as Velázquez “Las Meninas”? There is an incredibly huge bibliography on this painting, to the point that it is almost utopian to think or hope we can document ourselves on everything in and about it... From the late 1800s to the early 2000s, dozens of books have come out all over the world specifically and solely devoted to this one, single painting. A parallel literary current has even developed around the “enigmas” and “mysteries” connected with “Las Meninas”.

The story of “The Calling of Saint Matthew” begins on a hot summer day in Rome in 1600, the Jubilee Year. The entire Eternal City is a construction site: streets are full of scaffolding, dust clouds, loose cobblestones, the continuous banging of hammers and rasping of saws, carpenters with Lombard accents, errand boys shouting across the streets in Roman dialect, stevedores unloading barrels and crates from boats along the Tiber. The narrow streets in the town center are full of jostling tourists and monsignors rushing to get somewhere, and every once in a while the crowd parts to let a sedan chair or carriage of a cardinal through. Convent bells ring, droves of pilgrims mass along the routes connecting the old basilicas, reciting the rosary as they go. Not a day goes by without the opening of a new church, an oratory, or a chapel. Fascinated by this hubbub, dozens of artists from every nation roam the classical ruins and new palaces in the heat and dust (!) drawing everything they see

For almost 500 years, a large painting showing two young women at a fountain has been seen as an absolute hymn to beauty and love, executed by the young Titian who had set out to conquer the Venetian art scene. It is a solemn, luminous song, looking onto a bright, harmonious universe; it is the first true masterpiece of the twenty-five-year-old painter who knowingly started revolutionizing the history of painting. As one of his contemporaries said, Titian “walks hand in hand with nature; all of his figures are alive, move, and their flesh quivers.” After changing hands several times among different Venetian collections, it was finally purchased by Cardinal Scipione Borghese in 1608 for the Roman collection to which it still belongs today. The painting soon lost all ties with the person who commissioned it, and came to be understood as a broad, universal allegory of love, of two possible forms of love; the “sacred” and the “profane”.

Private Tour takes you to discover the Emil Bührle collection at the Maillol Museum in Paris. This collection is that of Emil Bührle, a student of art history who became passionate about collecting Monet's works after a visit to the National Gallery in Berlin. He started his collection with works by Claude Monet, but continued to fill it with works by Cézanne, Gauguin... Works that you can observe during this visit.

He experimented with a technique that would later be described as pointillist. He juxtaposed fine complementary touches of paint, seeking purity and luminosity. There are a few bluish, rounded reflections in the orange, giving it relief by simply sketching out the details.

The Centre Administratif de Pantin, a gigantic vessel of raw concrete, washed up on the banks of the Ourcq Canal in the early 1970s, in a Paris suburb known as the “Red Belt”. Its architect, Jacques Kalisz, had not yet built anything. Sensitive to Marxist theories, he had no formal qualifications at the time. The mayor of Pantin commissioned him to design an unprecedented facility, the Cité Administrative, which was to bring together a range of administrative, social and legal services (court, social security, police station, tax office, trade union center, ANPE, morgue, kennels, etc.), all in a single location. 20 years later, the center is deserted. It was the failure of a social utopia. The “People's Palace” is nothing but an empty shell. Destroying it would have been too expensive. So it was decided to renovate it. In 2004, the building underwent a radical change of use: offices and employees gave way to dance companies and rehearsal studios. A new cultural center, the Centre Nat

The Johnson Wax Administrative Buildings stand as a masterpiece of Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. At first glance, the building surprises: no windows but Pyrex facades, long brick walls, curves. Everywhere it hides, you don't know where to enter. Seen from above, it has this streamlined profile like the fuselage of an airplane or the hull of a boat. Seen from below, it hides and protects. Closed to the solicitations of the outside world, it is the world - a place that encourages concentration and work. A self-sufficient space. And yet, there is nothing oppressive in this place that promotes concentration. It is a sensual place, with warm colors - the famous Cherokee red invented by Frank Lloyd Wright - and rounded volumes. The architect had promised Johnson a building where everyone could feel like they were in a pine forest. He imagined a forest of tree-shaped columns: a metal base, a very thin cylindrical column that rises, widening to end in
