Conference presented by Elisabeth Antoine-König and Pierre-Yves Le Pogam (Louvre Museum), live from the Auditorium Michel Laclotte, on October 21, 2024 at 7 p.m. Figures of the Madman. From the Middle Ages to the Romantics October 16, 2024 – February 3, 2025 Madmen are everywhere. But are yesterday's madmen the same as today's? This fall, the Louvre Museum is dedicating a unique exhibition to these multiple figures of the madman, which abound in the visual universe from the 13th to the 16th century. Illuminated manuscripts, printed books and engravings, tapestries, paintings, sculptures, precious or everyday objects: between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the madman literally invades the entire artistic space and imposes himself as a fascinating, disturbing and subversive figure in an era of ruptures, not so far from ours. - Follow us on social media!
