In 2021, Greece celebrates the bicentenary of its War of Independence. This same year also marks the bicentenary of the entry of the Venus de Milo into the Louvre's collections: a calendar coincidence that provides an opportunity to look back on a long and enduring love affair between France and Greece, from the first embassies in Constantinople in the 17th century to the exhibitions of modern Greek artists in Paris.
Ancient, Byzantine and post-Byzantine art treasures, archaeological objects, drawings, paintings, costumes and photographs testify to the wealth of this marvellous country that Europe has chosen as its mother.
Exhibition at the musée du Louvre from 30 September 2021 to 7 February 2022.
