This season, the Jacquemart-André Museum is celebrating the Alana collection. One of the most valuable private collections of Italian Renaissance art. From the XNUMXth century, a real revolution took place in the world of art in Europe. In Italy, we go from a painting with Byzantine influence to a painting of light and volumes.
