Venetian sponsors at the Louvre

The exhibition focuses on Venetian painting in the second half of the XVIth century, a time in which the artists of the lagoon fused two styles by adapting the mannerism of central Italy to their naturalist vision of the world, and how it created emulation among sponsors. Arts as politics and economical power!

On 30 September 2009 at 7.30pm there will be a cocktail reception and guided visit by Jacques Leroux from Paris avec Vous - by invitation only.
