The opportunity to (re)discover one of the most enigmatic painters of the Grand Siècle (“Great Century”) and his unique approach to chiaroscuro.
Bringing together rarely exhibited masterpieces, this retrospective devoted to Georges de La Tour is a unique opportunity to discover the talent of an artist whose iconography is both mysterious and fascinating.

Gerhard Richter is subject of an exceptional retrospective, unmatched both in scale and in chronological scope, featuring 275 works stretching from 1962 to 2024: oil paintings, glass and steel sculptures, pencil and ink drawings, watercolors, and overpainted photographs.
A comprehensive view of over six decades up to Richter's decision in 2017 to stop painting, while continuing to draw. The exhibition traces the evolution of a singular pictorial vision, shaped by both rupture and continuity, from his early photo-based paintings to his final abstractions.
