Description
Friends and companions are in the spotlight on this tour! Let’s start with this rather austere-looking man, depicted alone – but is he really alone? Take a moment to admire these superb silver apostles displayed on the altar… Friends sometimes accompany us on incredible adventures, just like Odysseus and his crew: discover their story! Also take a look at this scene depicting the baptism of Christ, which tells the story of Saint John the Baptist, one of Jesus’ most faithful companions. Sometimes, to support one another, there’s nothing quite like setting up an association: that’s exactly what Ernesta Robert-Mérignac, an artist from Audomarois, did to ensure that women artists had a say. Finally, a tour focusing on friendship would not be complete without mentioning the Friends of the Museums, whose support has enabled numerous acquisitions and restorations over the years.
