The result of extensive iconographic research, the “Ulysses” exhibition, put together with the help of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, benefits from incredible international loans. Several paintings with rare subjects come from English museums (National Museum in Cardiff), ancient sculptures came from German (Glyptothek in Munich) or Italian (museo civico in Viterbo, royal museums in Turin), drawings were drawn from graphic arts cabinets like, here, this gouache from the Landesmuseum in Oldenburg.
