LA GABRIELLE STUDIES: DIJON 1500: EXHIBITION

La Gabrielle Fine Arts SA is thrilled to announce the publication of its annual Gazette, entitled La Gabrielle Studies. Launched last year with a first edition devoted to Medieval Manuscripts, La Gabrielle Studies highlights the very act of scientific study, to which we attach particular importance. 

For this second issue of La Gabrielle Studies, we are delighted to focus on the art produced in the Burgundian capital, Dijon, between the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. Art in Burgundy at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance has survived in remarkable quantity and quality. It has sparked and continues to spark a great deal of research and exhibitions which, especially in recent years in the field of illumination, have led to several notable discoveries. "Dijon 1500: Art & History", the title of this issue of La Gabrielle Studies, refers, on the one hand, to recent scholarly publications focusing on the artistic production of French cities during this period, and in particular the fifth volume in the series Peindre en France à la Renaissance (Peindre à Dijon au XVIe siècle, ed. F. Elsig, Cinisello Balsamo, 2016). "Dijon 1500: Art & History" also borrows its title from several exhibitions that have focused on the production of a specific city at a particular time, such as "France 1500: entre Moyen Âge et Renaissance" (Paris, Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, October 6, 2010-January 10, 2011), "Tours 1500: capitale des arts" (Tours, Musée des Beaux-Arts, March 17-June 17, 2012), or "Lyon Renaissance: art & humanisme" (Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts, October 23, 2015-January 25, 2016).
