‘Méditerranée’ explores the lure of the northern Mediterranean on artists between 1850 and 1925, as they sought out the authenticity of untouched fishing villages and the legacy of Greco-Roman mythology. Among some celebrated canvases (Picasso’s ‘Flute de Pan’, Matisse’s ‘Luxe, Calme et Volupté’) and rarely seen loans from regional collections, other highlights include fine Monets, luminous pointilliste works by Cross and Signac, the rich complexity of Bonnard and Bracque’s colourful short-lived Fauve phase at l’Estaque.
