FLORE. Les amitiés romantiques

What remains of romanticism in art today?

This question has run through the work of photographer FLORE for many years. The artist thus composes a body of work where poetry, melancholy, and memory of "what once was" intertwine, deeply echoing themes cherished by the Romantics.

On the occasion of this exhibition, FLORE takes over all the spaces and presents a body of photographs exploring in particular the romantic bonds of friendship between Ary Scheffer, George Sand, Pauline Viardot, and Frédéric Chopin.

The majority of the works will be previously unseen, created specially for the museum and presented to the public for the first time.

Alongside these contemporary works, a selection of nineteenth-century works from the museum's collections, enriched by outside loans, will establish a fruitful dialogue between images from the romantic era and FLORE's creations, resonating across temporalities and sensibilities
