![]() The Petite Galerie is a permanent exhibition space in the heart of the Louvre museum, open to all, and particularly geared toward families, schoolchildren, and disadvantaged audiences. Designed to provide keys to understanding the museum, over ten months of each year, the Petite Galerie offers a multidisciplinary exhibition on a broad art historical theme. The short, simple experience presents original artworks, with adapted interpretation. Guided tours and workshops for families round out the initiative, alongside cultural programming in the auditorium. Experimental and ever-changing, the Petite Galerie project is gaining ground with each new edition. The “Advent of the Artist” exhibition in the Petite Galerie has been extended until July 5, 2021.
It was during the Renaissance that artists asserted their independence and demanded recognition as creators in their own right. Yet the advent of the artist had been long awaited. This exhibition will take a close look at the transition from the typically anonymous craftsman of the classical period to the artist of the Renaissance, at times famous to the extent of becoming the hero of novels and legends. It is this long-standing connection between the visual arts and the written word that inspired this edition’s focus on literature. Spread across four rooms, the exhibition will feature some forty artworks from the Louvre’s eight curatorial departments alongside extracts from literature, with the aim of tracing the emergence and recognition of the artist from Antiquity to the 19th century.
