Eternal Tintoret at the Jacquemart-André Museum

He is one of the leading figures of the Italian Renaissance. This fall, the Jacquemart-André Museum — with its absolutely sublime architecture, we might add — celebrates the work of Jacomo Robusti, known as Tintoret. For the first time in France, the exhibition traces his entire prolific career, showing how he gradually became a reference point in both Italian and French painting. As you wander through the galleries, the modernity of his art is revealed, along with the unique character of his work.

Line and Image at the Luxembourg Museum

We know him for his famous Campbell's Soup Cans, his Marilyn Diptych or even his colorful portraits of Judy Garland and Ingrid Bergman. A pioneer of Pop art, Andy Warhol drew throughout his life, right up to his final moments. Caricatures, portraits, advertisements... His range of skills was particularly broad and he didn't hesitate to experiment with multiple techniques using stencils, collages, broken lines and stamps. These many facets and boundless talent will take center stage at the Luxembourg Museum.

Lady Liberty at the Museum of Arts and Crafts

Beyond becoming the ultimate symbol of New York, the Statue of Liberty is above all an example of French expertise and technical mastery. Born from the hands of Bartholdi in a Parisian studio, it embodies all the ingenuity of the era. So on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of American independence, the Museum of Arts and Crafts takes us through the construction of this creation that pushed the technical limits of its time. An immersive exhibition you won't want to miss.

Cézanne and Us at the Grand Palais

He was the absolute master of color. From his Provençal landscapes to his endless exploration of Mont Sainte-Victoire, Paul Cézanne never stopped elevating nature, eventually becoming one of the pioneers of modern art. A rich, powerful body of work that certainly marked generations of painters, from Paul Gauguin to Henri Matisse, passing through Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian and Joan Mitchell. It's this significant influence that the Grand Palais is celebrating this autumn, shining a light on the rich legacy left behind by Cézanne.

Artists at the Museum at the National Museum of Natural History

Throughout history, natural history and the arts have always been closely linked. From artists commissioned to illustrate scientific works to those who never stopped drawing inspiration from nature in their creations, the exchanges between these two fields are undeniable. To shed light on them, the Museum is bringing together paintings this fall by Dalí, Buffet, and Henri Rousseau, paired with more scientific works drawn directly from the institution's collections.

Monet, Painting Time at the Ora Museum

ngerie

With this exhibition, the museum located in the Tuileries explores a question as simple as it is fascinating: how do we represent the passage of time? An obsession that accompanied Monet throughout his career and which finds its ultimate expression in the immense Water Lilies, installed here according to his own wishes. The exhibition brings together dozens of works to tell this endless quest for light, to show us a painter who was ever more daring, always more profound and poetic in his art.
