PRIVATE TOUR
During a 2-hour visit, let yourself be guided through one of the most beautiful museums in France and discover these famous “scandalous” artists, who, through their masterpieces and innovations, have filled some of the most beautiful pages in art history.
Pornographic artists or just impressionists ? You are probably thinking about this painting so shameful that it was not revealed to the general public until one hundred and twenty-five years after its creation. “L’Origine Du Monde”: open thighs, sex of a woman in close-up, faceless… Like Gustave COURBET, many artists now recognized as master artists have suffered from the censorship of the Academy of Fine Arts.
This thematic visit of Orsay Museum will be an opportunity to reflect on the notion of scandal. Which works were controversial and why ? If it seems easy to understand why Auguste CLESINGER’s sculpture “La Femme Piquée Par Un Serpent” have been criticized, how could Jean-François MILLET’s painting “Les Glaneuses” have shocked the public of his period ?
This experience, rich in surprises, will take you among the rooms of Orsay to discover the paintings and sculptures that are now part of the treasures of our heritage. Your guide will take you behind the scenes of 19th century art, and show you how choking the public opinion has become a commercial and public strategy for artists.
