These rhythms of trade

inseparable from the Parisian artistic revolutions and the art market of the second half of the 19th century

and presentations from the Kerma Museum are all windows that allow us to restore the richness and diversity of Nubian archaeology

Une Des provinces du Rococo. La Chine rêvée de François Boucher. Préhistoire d’Antoine et de MathieuDuring the 1730s, the painter F. Boucher discovered Asia and began to assemble a collection of Chinese and Japanese objects. These inspired him to create cartoons to serve as models for weavers in the Beauvais workshops and for his paintings of Chinese subjects. This catalog presents these art objects and tapestries, as well as paintings and prints by the artist.
