Eugène Delacroix is considered as the leader of French Romanticism, a simultaneously passionate, dramatic and tormented artistic movement, which emerged at the beginning of the 19th century. However, more than a movement, it is a whole creative and captivating artistic development, which is on offer here, through the study of 10 of the artist’s major works. He was to have a notable influence on all modern artistic movements, which after him, were to explore the power of colour and light.

What to do with our dead? Burn them? Bury them? Make them disappear? Keep them within easy reach? We're 70km from Barcelona, behind Montserrat. Here, as all over Spain, we don't bury the dead, we pile them up in niches and superimposed vaults. The new Igualada cemetery, for example, will be the work of two Catalan architects at the very start of their careers, Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos. The project is surprising because it blends into the landscape. The land is hollowed out, inhabited by strange alignments of oblique concrete walls, covered with earth and planted. Is it a building? Or rather a place? A place enriched by the very fact that it's not finished? A strong link between twentieth-century architecture and landscape, between Le Corbusier and Richard Long.

In an exhibition entitled ‘Vermeer and Music: The Art of Love and Leisure’, The National Gallery has chosen to focus on Vermeer’s relationship with music. It is one of the most popular themes of Dutch painting and reveals an enormous amount about this most fascinating of artists.

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. The history of this movement is closely linked to the love of gardens and the desire to preserve nature in a country undergoing rapid urbanization. This enchanting journey through workshops, gardens and famous sites in the USA, UK and France is a feast for the eyes.

King Philip IV of Spain’s portrait painter, Diego Velazquez, (1599-1660) is the archetype of the brilliant court painter and alone embodies the stunning Spanish school of the “golden” 17th century. Admired for the psychological reality of his portraits, particularly that of “Pope Innocent X” belonging to the Doria Pamphilj Gallery, he is above all known for his masterpieces on display in the Museo del Prado, particularly “Las Meninas” where he represents himself beside the infant and her retinue. Enjoy your visit!

In the second half of the 19th century, Edouard Manet (1832-1883) showed great originality in his painting of historic scenes and portraiture of well-known figures, such as the novelist Zola and the poet Mallarmé. Even if we cannot call him the first Impressionist, his leading role in the history of modern art must be emphasised. The scandals in 1863 caused by “The Luncheon on the Grass” or “Olympia” both exposed at the Orsay Museum effectively mark the beginning of modern painting. Enjoy your visit!

In the 1960s, Japanese architects think about reinventing Paris drawing Metabolism, which converts Japanese megalopolis like Tokyo. They stood out in 1971 for the support of the construction of the Center Pompidou; the opportunity to display their new vision of urban planning. Japanese architects then participate in numerous competitions for major works in Paris but will never be successful.

Wilhelm Hansen was a visionary businessman who lived in Denmark in the 19th century. He was one of the few collectors to take an interest in the Impressionist painters, at a time when they were attacked and denigrated. The film takes us to Hansen's summer home on the outskirts of Copenhagen, and to the extraordinary exhibition of his collection at London's Royal Academy.

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.

Exhibition on Screen takes us through the streets of Paris and then to the heart of a superb exhibition at Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum, whose impressive collection of Degas works is the most representative in Britain. Having benefited from exclusive access to a wide variety of rare works, the film tells the story of Degas' quest for perfection through experimentation.

Although Degas’ art is difficult to classify, it is often associated with the impressionist movement, which emerged in France at the end of the 19th century. Nevertheless, he developed a very personal style with a preference for indoors subjects rather than the open-air scenes favoured by the impressionist painters. The 10 masterpieces presented here are a good illustration of Degas’ preferred themes: the show, the bath, family portraits and the working classes. Discover " The Ballet classe " exposed at the Orsay Museum or the " Blue Dancers " at the Fine arts Museum Pouchkine. Enjoy your visit!

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

Roissy 1 embodied the aspirations of modern architecture. It was the early days of mass travel, a pre-crisis era that believed in progress and dreamed of speed. It was also the beginning of architecture's role in the construction of airport terminals. With Roissy 1, it was no longer airplanes but architecture that would be admired. He was 29 years old at the time, and it was his 1st building - the very beginning of a long series of some fifty platforms worldwide that would make him one of the greatest terminal architects of the 20th century.

On the night of 17–18 October 1984, three criminals broke into the municipal museum in Semur-en-Auxois, which was not fitted with an alarm system. The joint investigation by the French and Japanese police revealed links between the Parisian underworld and the Japanese Yakuza mafia. Indeed, Shinchi Fujikuma, a Japanese gangster, had met two members of the Aubervilliers gang, Philippe-Emile Jamin and Youssef Khimoun, whilst serving time in a French prison. In 1987, the French managed to return from Japan with four of the five stolen paintings. The last one, *The Portrait of Mrs Baudot*, remained with its new owner, in accordance with the principle of ‘good faith’ guaranteed by Japanese law.

On the evening of 13 July 1999, a day of celebrations in France, Rembrandt’s *The Boy with a Soap Bubble* disappeared from the Draguignan Municipal Museum. Patrick Vialaneix recounts how he fell in love with this painting at the age of 13. Thirteen years later, the painting continued to haunt him, and he decided to steal it so that he could always have it close to him and talk to it. He therefore hid in a cupboard in the museum, waiting for nightfall to make off with it. He turned himself in to the police in 2014.

Vandalised, stolen, cut into pieces, melted down and resold for a few thousand euros, even though they are worth millions: sculptures. On the night of 30–31 March 1999, whilst this park in the 6th arrondissement was closed to the public, individuals stole the sculpture of Picasso’s former muse and lover, Dora Maar: ‘Head of a Woman’, an 80-centimetre-tall bronze weighing 80 kilos. Two years later, in a town hall in the Paris suburbs, it stood proudly on the staircase: ‘Do you realise you’ve got a Picasso in your building?’ exclaimed an antique dealer who had come to visit the château. Indeed, the town hall had found a ‘large stone’ buried on a plot of land, had it cleaned, thought it was beautiful and displayed it in their château, unaware that it was a sculpture by Picasso…

In 2010, five masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Modigliani and Léger went missing. A year into the investigation, the police arrested the burglar, Vrejan Tomic.

Wrapped in bin bags, these unsellable works were found at the home of a third man, Yonathan Birn. How? Why?

Claude Monet is probably the best-known painter of the impressionist movement. Indeed, the term “impressionism” was derived from his painting “Impression Rising Sun” (1872). This exhibition retraces the great stages in Monet’s prolific career while dwelling on paintings of this master that cannot be ignored: the “Saint Lazare Station”, the “Poppies near Argenteuil”, the “Haystacks” and the “Rouen Cathedral” exposed all around the world in different museum such as the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston without forgetting his “Water-lilies” exposed at the Orangerie museum in Paris.

Without Camille Pissarro, there is no Impressionist movement. He is rightfully known as the father of Impressionism. It was a dramatic path that Pissarro followed, and throughout it all he wrote extensively to his family. It is through these intimate and revealing letters that this gripping film reveals Pissarro’s life and work. Born in the West Indies, Pissarro found his passion in paint as a young man in Paris, and by the age of 43 had corralled a group of enthusiastic artists into a new collective. Their first show was scorned by the critics, but the group had acquired a new name: the Impressionists. For the next 40 years Pissarro was the driving force behind what has today become the world’s favourite artistic movement. The Ashmolean Museum has a long tradition of excellence. As the UK’s first ever public museum (it opened its doors in May 1683) it houses a wonderfully rich collection, including the remarkable Pissarro archive. With exclusive access to most extensive archive of

The Villa Dall’Ava, designed by Rem Koolhaas in 1991, is an iconic project located on the heights of Saint-Cloud, near Paris. This house is distinguished by its bold architecture and geometric forms that challenge the traditional conventions of a typical villa. The structure consists of shifted volumes, with two apartment boxes appearing to float above the pool, creating an impression of lightness. Koolhaas faced significant technical and aesthetic challenges during the design of the villa. On one hand, he dealt with opposition from neighbors concerned about the visual and structural impact of the house on the surrounding landscape. On the other hand, he had to devise ingenious solutions to support the weight of the boxes and the pool, which holds 65 tons of water. The villa incorporates carefully planned internal supports and a drainage system to ensure the stability of the structure. In addition to these challenges, Villa Dall’Ava serves as a reflection on modern living and the rel
