The Italian Museum
The Andre’s were passionately interested in the Italian Renaissance and created a genuine private museum on the first floor of their home to house the collection of Italian art they showed only to their closest friends.
The Sculpture Gallery The Sculpture Gallery houses one of the finest collections of 15th and 16th century Italian sculpture in France, with masterpieces by Francesco Laurana, Donatello, Luca Della Robbia and others. | |
The Florentine Gallery The Florentine Gallery is both a place of worship, containing works on religious themes - choir stalls, reredos and funerary monuments - and a picture gallery focusing on the Florentine school, with works by Botticelli, Botticini and Perugino, and Ucello’s celebrated St George and the Dragon. | |
The Venetian Gallery The Venetian Gallery attests to the André’s love of 15th century Venetian artists. Dominated by a superb coffer ceiling attributed to Mocetto, paintings by Mantegna, Bellini or Carpaccio recreate the typical setting of a Venetian Palazzo. |
