The Petit Palais is presenting the first French retrospective ever devoted to Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652), the terrible heir to Caravaggio, whom his contemporaries considered 'darker and more ferocious' than the great Italian master. Of Spanish origin, he spent his entire career in Italy, first in Rome and then in Naples.

With over a hundred paintings, drawings and prints from all over the world, the exhibition retraces Ribera's entire career for the first time: the intense Roman years, which have only recently been rediscovered, and the ambitious Neapolitan period, which led to his meteoric rise to fame. One thing is clear: Ribera stands out as one of the earliest and boldest interpreters of the Caravaggesque revolution, and beyond that as one of the leading artists of the Baroque age.

The Grand Palais Immersif invites you to discover PIXELS, the first major Parisian exhibition dedicated to Miguel Chevalier, a pioneer of digital art. Located in the heart of the Bastille, this exceptional exhibition, designed on two floors and occupying more than 1200 m², will immerse you in a universe where reality and virtuality merge to push the boundaries of art and artificial intelligence.

Let yourself be seduced by this unique experience which questions our links with digital technology through works that are as poetic as they are hypnotic.

Curatorship: Miguel Chevalier and Voxels Studio

Fools are everywhere. But are the fools of today the same as the fools of yesteryear? This fall, the Musée du Louvre is dedicating an unprecedented exhibition to the myriad figures of the fool, which permeated the pictorial landscape of the 13th to the 16th centuries. Over the course of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the fool came to occupy every available artistic space, insinuating himself into illuminated manuscripts, printed books and engravings, tapestries, paintings, sculptures, and all manner of objects both precious and mundane. His fascinating, perplexing and subversive figure loomed large in the turmoil of an era not so different from our own.
