Highlights Fabrique des Lumières
Fabrique des Lumières brings art to life in ways you’ve never imagined. Here are some of the breathtaking exhibitions you can explore:
From Vermeer to Van Gogh, Dutch Masters
This immersive journey transports you to the 17th-century golden age of Dutch painting. Experience the daily life and society of the era through more than 325 works by over 50 painters, including Vermeer and Rembrandt. Witness rough seas, scenes of faith, and stunning winter landscapes as if stepping directly into the paintings. This exhibition invites you to stroll through Vermeer’s awakening cities and immerse yourself in Rembrandt’s introspective spiritual realms. The vivid detail and candid portrayals in these artworks offer a glimpse into the ordinary life of the past in an extraordinary way.
The Artistic Evolution of Mondriaan
Following the Dutch Masters, delve into the world of Mondriaan, a pioneer who broke free from traditional constraints to create a visionary style known as neoplasticism. This 14-minute exhibition, divided into five chapters, showcases Mondriaan’s journey towards visual simplicity. Experience the shift from candlelight to electric, from Calvinist austerity to the jazz era, and from Dutch landscapes to New York skyscrapers. Mondriaan’s life and art embody the contrast and balance between opposing dynamics, magnified in the monumental spaces of Fabrique des Lumières.
