Discover the genius of the painters of the North through a complete immersion in authentic paintings that are faithful representations of nature and its themes. Explore the reality of daily life, following in the footsteps of the great masters who represented the ordinary in an extraordinary way. Painting light and atmosphere is the main theme of the exhibition itinerary.

Set sail and berth your boats in the cities, and stroll around in Vermeer’s world, in which the inhabitants invite you to step into the canvas. Much like a filmmaker, Vermeer chose what to include inside the frame and created a world suspended in time. Master of chiaroscuro, Rembrandt then encourages the introspection. An unrivalled portraitist who achieved a powerful realism, his Night Watch brings the procession of portraits to a climactic end. From Abraham Blommaert’s kingdom of the gods to Hendrick Avercamp’s expanses of ice, the seascapes by Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom and Jan Steen’s festive tavern scenes, the exhibition immerses us in the fascinating world of seventeenth-century Holland. Van Gogh, a worthy successor to these seventeenth-century painters, takes you under the summer and night skies of the South of France. Using bright colours and imbuing his work with intense emotion, he sculpted the paint and sublimated the landscapes, self-portraits, and still lifes. Like a final colourful bouquet, you are surrounded by nocturnal and dreamlike paintings, losing their way in the stars.
