The Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille takes you into the world of Raphael (1483-1520), through its priceless collection of drawings, revealed for the first time to the public in its entirety. The presentation of these 40 drawings, for some double-sided, will be supplemented by prestigious loans granted by the Louvre Museum, the Royal Collection Trust and the National Gallery of London, or the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Madrid.
From Perugia to Rome, via Florence, follow the extraordinary itinerary of the Italian Grand Master and delve into his work, closer to his creative process. Digital evocations will even allow you to go further in this exploration, and virtually enter the Signature Room of the Vatican Palace, to discover its famous frescoes!
