Zurbarán. Réinventer un chef-d’œuvre

December 5, 2024 - March 2, 2025

For the first time, the three paintings by Francisco de Zurbarán of Saint Francis standing and mummified, held in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya and the Museum of Fine Art of Boston, will be brought together.
The first part of the exhibition will explore the driving forces and sources of this singular creation, through a group of works by Zurbarán and his contemporaries. The second part focus on the prodigious reception of these iconic works by artists of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, through paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and pieces of haute couture.
