• 1. The Fabre Museum: the fine arts museum of Montpellier

  Several possibilities to discover this place according to your tastes and availability: single tour, several tours... Everything is possible.

  • 1.1 A quick journey through the collections, masterpiece by masterpiece, from Veronese to Soulages.

    The Fabre museum has many major works (Teniers, Rubens, Zurbaran, Delacroix, Courbet, Van Dongen, Marquet, Nicolas de Staël, Pierre Soulages...).
    
    And when this artistic wealth joins an architectural reflection, you are sure to not get bored!
    
    * Mandatory additional entry fee required.

  • 1.2 The museum will have no secrets for you! A cycle of 6 guided tours from the Renaissance to the twentieth century will put in perspective different artists and stylistic currents present in the permanent exhibition.

    • 1.2.1 The painting of the Renaissance (XV - XVI centuries)

      The collection is not bloated, but the works are rich with plastic beauty and iconographic content which may awaken your artistic sensibilities, and evoke the blessed time of Gods, within the adventure of the human thought (Veronese, Allori, Jean Cousin...)

    • 1.2.2 The Flemish and Dutch Golden Age (XVIIth century)

      

      Nordic collections are of an intimate nature thanks to the personality and artistic inclinations of the collector Antoine Valedeau.

      Characterized by hyper-specialization, this painting (still life, genre painting, animal painting, landscape...) finds its roots and justification in an original bourgeois society of which it is a permanent reminder (Rubens, Seghers, Dou, Van Mieris, Steen, Van Ruysdael, Potter, Teniers...).

      Virtuosity of the brush, illusionist rendering ​​of materials characterize this pictorial moment.

    • 1.2.3 France - Italy in the XVIIth century : a game of influences

      The XVIIth century offers an astonishing variety of expressions born from the specificities of the nations of Europe, but also from the political and cultural events that upset the existing balance.
      
      Italian works from the Musee Fabre reflect this abundance, from the ending days of Mannerism (Cigali) to the dominant double influence of the Realism of Caravaggio (Ribera) and the Bolognese classicism (Domenichino).

      Faced with Italian style, French painting affirms its otherness (Vouet, Poussin, Bourdon, Stello, La Hyre...) and soon its supremacy... Italy hands over to France.

      

    • 1.2.4 Rococo frivolity and moral neoclassical (XVIIIth century)

      The XVIIIth century is particularly well represented in the Fabre Museum in all its diversity. The first half of the century creates a sensual relationship with the world. Ovide's conquering goddesses then demonstrate the success of libertines and uphold the reign of Venus. The works of Ranc, Raoux, Natoire, Coypel are representative of this period called "Rococo".

      

      But soon, under the combined influence of archeology and the Enlightenment, art must now "make virtue amiable and vice odious" (Diderot). Antiquity is suddenly revealed as a land where one had to deliver vital fights to defend core values ​​such as courage, heroism, loyalty to the motherland. Neoclassical painting is here to show the intellectual and social transformations that undermine the foundations of the monarchy in the late XVIIIth century.

      

      François Xavier Fabre, a pupil of David, has favored this period in his donation, making the Fabre Museum one of the landmarks of neoclassicism (Greuze, David, Lagrenée, Vincent, Hallé...)

    • 1.2.5 Romanticism and Realism: The revelation of the trip to Morocco and the scandal of "Bathers" (XIXth century)

      Once again the rich collections of the Fabre Museum and the presence of major works invite us to an understanding of the major intellectual and stylistic movements that marked the first half of the XIXth century.

      

      A wind of freedom then blows on pictorial creation, freedom which Romanticism loudly boasts as its own, paving the way for modernity... Géricault, Delacroix, Devéria are reflecting this diversity of styles and sources of inspiration.

      In this perspective, Gustave Courbet subverts on its own grounds the "great History of Painting" and finds new goals for her, thereby inventing an original and contemporary political definition of "Realism".

    • 1.2.6 From Bazille to Soulages: Modernity marches on, and the inevitable fragmentation of figuration (XIXth, XXth)

      The Impressionist intuition of the transience of life ; its reflection on light, color, shape ; its challenging of conventional assumptions ; Painting as a language of souls freed it from the representation of reality and moved it towards abstraction (Bazille, Morisot, Manet, Monet, Van Dongen, Marquet, Matisse, Delaunay, Nicolas de Stael, Poliakoff, Soulages...)

      

      * Mandatory additional entry fee required.

  • 1.3 Works through collectors: a cycle of 3 tours (François Xavier Fabre, Antoine Valedeau, Alfred Bruyas).

    • 1.3.1 François Xavier Fabre, the founder (1766-1837)

      "You can not spend one hour in Montpellier without being told of the Fabre Museum, located on the Esplanade" wrote Stendhal in September 1837, twelve years after the donation which gave the city a museum and a library, and earned their founder, the painter François Xavier Fabre, a national reputation and the title of Baron. Fabre had died six months earlier at the age of 71 in his apartment located within the museum.
      
      This tour allows you to discover the personality, the work of the painter and collector that was Francois Xavier Fabre.

    • 1.3.2 Antoine Valedeau, an autodidact aesthete (1772-1836)

      Antoine Valedeau: 79 paintings, 345 watercolors. During Fabre's lifetime, the Valedeau leg perfectly complements the classic tone of the original collection. Taking advantage of market opportunities in the revolutionary period, he accumulates valuable and intimate works of nordic origin, reflecting also the taste of his time (Mieris Van Steen, Reynolds, Grauze, Teniers, Dou...)

    • 1.3.3 Alfred Bruyas "a Dostoevsky character in a Balzac universe" (1821-1877)

      Alfred Bruyas: third part of the cycle "collectors Fabre museum"

      "A Dostoevsky character in a Balzac universe" ; this is how Xavier Dejean, former curator of the Fabre Museum, approached the character. Few art lovers have left a memory in history as singular as this Montpellier patron. A failed painter at the beginning, he compensates his creative inability and existential angst by devoting his life to his collection, which over time become a real intellectual project.

      

      With the Bruyas leg (Courbet, Delacroix, Géricault, Barbizon school...) the Fabre museum becomes a place of reference for artists, driving people such as Van Gogh and Gauguin to pay a visit in 1888, and Signac in 1897...

      Bruyas and his beautiful profile of a romantic prince fascinated painters of his time and still surprises us. The pervasive and almost obsessive ghostly image of the collector now belongs to the soul of the Fabre Museum.

    • * Mandatory additional entry fee required.

  • 1.4 For fans of Gustave Courbet, a special tour

    Gustave Courbet (Ornans 1819, Tour de Peilz (Switzerland) 1877), leader of the "Realist" school

    • 1.4.1 Gustave Courbet and Montpellier

      The story begins when Alfred Bruyas, collector and patron of Montpellier, buys "Bathers", the painting which triggers a scandal at the 1853 exhibition. This is the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between two extraordinary personalities for which "Realism is the future of painting".

      Courbet's two stays in Montpellier generate clear and bright works, fed by the southern light the painter discovers then.

      "The meeting", the iconic picture of this period, symbolically evokes the tacit agreement between the two men: financial support for Courbet, satisfaction for Bruyas of having become the friend and patron of the great Courbet.

    • 1.4.2 Gustave COURBET (1819-1877) or the entry into modernity (conference version if you have a dedicated room)

      What is striking about Courbet, is the consistency of his project, the unity of his trajectory, the match between his ideas, his actions and his paintings. This loudmouth and thundering "madman of painting" was hated, admired, hated, envied, sometimes sanctified.
      
      To remove the dust from the sacrosanct painting history, to make it empty of its meaning in order to give it a new one, personal, current and democratic, that what was his task. Beyond his work, Courbet changed in depth artists' look, opened the way to every possible questions, playing the role of an awakener, a troublemaker...

    • * Mandatory additional entry fee required.

  • 1.5 For fans of Pierre Soulages (born in Rodez in 1919)

    • 1.5.1 Pierre Soulages and Montpellier

    The time has stopped in Napoleon III salons, with their confined and oppressive atmosphere ; elsewhere, it flows peacefully: furniture, ceramics, silver, works of art, all reflect the lifestyle of a brilliant and refined society.

    * Mandatory additional entry fee required.

  • 1.7 Temporary exhibitions

    • 1.7.1 Claude Viallat Retrospective (June 28th - November 2nd, 2014)

      Claude Viallat, born in Nîmes in 1936.

      

      Retrospective

      During the years 1960-1980, the problem of abstraction moves dramatically, dominated by a reflection on the link between the surface of the canvas and the occupation of space.

      The artwork is rethinking its foundations. Claude Viallat student at the School of Fine Arts in Montpellier (1955-1959) and in Paris (1962-1963), is one of the founding members of the Supports-Surfaces movement, which calls into question the material elements of paint and the institutional hanging modes. Viallat painted on recycled materials (umbrella, awnings, blinds...) and hangs his works in the street, double-sided...

      In 1966, with paintings without frame, he adopts a method of stamping and the repetition of an identical shape, sort of bean or pallet which becomes his trademark.

      Composed of a hundred works, the exhibition shows the career of this artist, from his early works until today.

  • 5.5 The antique Nîmes and the Gard bridge

    A civilization of the City and the Water, as in Rome.
    
    The antique Nîmes
    
    At the origins of Nîmes, water is honored as a divine manifestation: in hot, dry scrubland, Némausus, the god of the fountain, is the source of life. A colony of Roman law, the city (7 kilometers of ramparts), huge, is adorned with magnificent monuments, water becomes an element of comfort, a sign of prosperity, a form of ostentation. It is to meet these new demands that the Gard bridge was built, along with the fountain gardens, the castellum, and the amphitheater.
    
    
    End of the 1st century BC, Nîmes enters the orbit of Rome. Colony of Roman law protected by the Emperor Augustus, the city erects prestigious buildings which make now the reputation of the city.
    
    The Gard bridge
    
    There is no need to describe a site as universally known and recognized as the Gard bridge, a World Heritage of UNESCO. Let those who discovered it at other times speak:                  
    
    "For once, the object reached my expectations and it was the only time in my life... I felt lost like an insect in this vastness. I felt a je-ne-sais-quoi which was lifting my soul, and I thought "why am I not Roman!" (Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions, 1782).                  
    
    "The Gard bridge stands majestically amidst the deepest solitude... the soul is thrown into a long and deep astonishment. The Colosseum in Rome hardly plunged me into such a profound dream like state... Thyme, wild lavender, juniper, the only productions of this desert, exhale their solitary perfumes under a sky of dazzling serenity..." (Stendhal, Memoirs of a tourist, August 1837).                  
    
    The miracle of the Gard bridge is that, still today, one can feel its strength, if he can see and feel its immutable and eternal dimension.

  • 6.3 The Causse du Larzac : a natural and cultural identity

    The land of Larzac is not like any other : infinite horizons, stony paths, austere houses revealing a certain harshness of existence, a land loved by those who live and cultivate there. To keep this area alive, a historic struggle of 10 years (1971-1981) expanded the fame of Larzac far beyond its geographical boundaries. Everyone remembers the slogan "Gardarem lo Larzac", when Michel Debré, Minister of Defense, decided to make a military camp there. A moment of nature, magnified by a geological wonder, the circus Navacelle and its 300 meters long canyon... Breathtaking!
