An exceptional woman and artist honoured at the musée Jacquemart-André. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 - circa 1656), a leading figure in Caravaggesque painting and a personality with an extraordinary destiny, is one of the few women artists of the modern era to have achieved international fame during her lifetime. Through a selection of some 40 paintings, the exhibition highlights Artemisia Gentileschi’s role in the history of 17th-century art.

Worth: the birth of haute couture in Paris
With the exhibition “Worth: the birth of haute couture in Paris ’ at the Petit Palais, immerse yourself in the history of haute couture and its founder, Charles Frederick Worth. After setting up his own fashion house in 1858, the British couturier remained at the forefront of French fashion from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th, with his elegant creations and innovative methods, such as seasonal collections and the organisation of fashion shows. A wonderful (re)discovery to look forward to.
