This exhibition, bringing together three hundred works, is the first major comprehensive treatment of Romanesque art in France. An exceptional grouping of reliquary statues, illuminated manuscripts executed at the most celebrated scriptoria, precious objects and ivories from treasure vaults, capitals, and reliefs attests to the extraordinary diversity of artistic manifestations in France from the mid-10th to the mid-12th centuries. Exhibition from the Objets d'Art Department, Louvre Museum. Curator : Danielle Gaborit-Chopin.
