Toulouse 1300 - 1400. The Emergence of the Southern Gothic

Anonymous (Toulouse), Head of a Virgin, ca 1350, Musée de Cluny, Paris.

Toulouse 1300 - 1400. The Emergence of the Southern Gothic depicts a unique inventory of creativity in Toulouse in the 14th century. More than 80 works are on display, showing the richness of Toulouse's creative output during this period, as well as the back-and-forth of influences between Toulouse, Avignon and the Pyrenean valleys. Some of the highlights are four statues from the Rieux chapel, masterpieces of 14th century polychrome sculpture as well as a number of illuminations and manuscripts.

The exhibition is organised by the Musée de Cluny and the Réunion des musées nationaux - Grand Palais. It has benefited from an exceptional loan from the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse.
