CANCELED - Rouen: Gothic Treasures and Modern-Contemporary Art

Saturday, April 25, 2020 - 00:00
  • AH2012 Medieval Art & Architecture
  • AH2091C Curatorial Studies,
  • AH2016 19TH & 20TH Cent. Art & Architecture

Rouen has a small city center that is within easy walking distance of the train station, and within this short radius one can see an enormous number of Gothic gems. The Cathedral of Rouen inspired 20 paintings by Monet. But there is also the church of St. Maclou in the Flamboyant Gothic style, the old monastery of St. Ouen, and two unusual remnants of Gothic secular architecture. The Place du vieux marché now houses the Church of Joan of Arc right next to the exact site where she was burned at the stake, and contains beautiful examples of late medieval stained glass. Visit the art space “Frac Normandie Rouen” and enjoy a tour of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen (including works from Caravaggio to Marcel Duchamp...)
