About the location

Musée-Bibliothèque François Pétrarque

Rive gauche de la Sorgue 84800 Fontaine-de-Vaucluse

Vaucluse
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Since its reopening in 1986, the Musée-Bibliothèque François Pétrarque, dedicated to Petrarch, reviving humanism and Italianity, has been offering artistic and cultural activities relating to the Fountainde-Vaucluse and its literary territory in the continuity of the inspired place and a creative tradition that illustrate, five centuries apart, the two great poetic figures: François Pétrarque and René Char.
Thus, this house-museum perpetuates the aesthetic and sentimental links between a number of artists and the site through the theme "Painting and writing" and the pictorial and poetic joint work of dialogue through the book. Works by Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti, Arpad Szenes, Vieira Da Silva, Joan Miró, Zao Wou-Ki, Pablo Picasso, Wifredo Lam, Joseph Sima… nourish this “sovereign conversation” as so many resurgences that join the clear waters of the poem.
