The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours, Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans and Musée Municipal de Richelieu, with the assistance of the Fondation du Crédit Agricole Pays de France and Fondation du Patrimoine have launched an applications campaign for the population and businesses with a view to restoring the “Battles” for the “Richelieu in Richelieu” exhibition due to be held in the spring of 2011.
This exhibition will mainly focus on the
décors and collections of Cardinal Richelieu, acquired
and commissioned to deck out his family residence in Touraine, and
reconstructed according to Jacques Lemercier's drawings from 1631
onwards.
On the first floor of the north wing, over some 70 m,
the Gallery of Battles unveiled an exceptional rich iconographic
programme on its walls, glorifying the military campaigns led
by Louis XIII and Richelieu from 1627 to 1636. 12 paintings have
survived from this prestigious décor today, kept in the
Château de Versailles' collections.
9 large paintings (3.5 m x 2.6 m) now need considerable
restoration work before they can be put on public display.
After the exhibition, these works will be on long-term loan to the
three partner museums.
The exhibition will present a collection of paintings,
sculptures, artefacts and furniture, as well as the largest
collection of antique sculptures in France from the first half of
the 17
th century (around 200 statues and busts), one of the
very first in Europe.
