Cocottes et courtisanes dans l'oeil des peintres

500 years after his death, Leonardo da Vinci's painting is still just as fascinating. And yet, there are only 16 surviving canvasses attributed to him, some of which are unfinished. Through analysis of infrared reflectography, a technique that reveals the drawing beneath the layer of paint, the film underlines the prowess of da Vinci's work and captures its meaning and emotion.

Decoding Da Vinci

Peintres femmes, entre ombre et lumière (1780-1830)

Jean Vilar, le rêve du théâtre pour tous

The Norwegian painter Edvard Munch is the author of a powerful body of work that is rooted in symbolism and expressionism. His most famous painting, "The Scream", painted in 1893, has become the symbol of existential anguish. He obsessively sought to express his most violent emotions in the face of death and love, bringing them together in a great whole, the "Frieze of Life". Nature, in perpetual movement, the bearer of vital momentum, helped him to exalt his anguish of living through its colors and undulating lines.
