Restoration of the gallery at Brézé Castle

With scientific and financial support from the Maine-et-Loire Département, the owners of the castle have been restoring these works of art since 2010: the colours of the oils have been enhanced and the canvases have been restretched. 

These paintings, which all have protected Historical Monument status, include the impressive early 17th-century portrait of all seven of the Dreux brothers: this family’s ascendancy dates back to this period. They also include a series of 19th-century portraits of members of the royal family, as well as two other important works: one by the Italian painter Carlo-Falconi, and the other by the French painter Claude-Vignon.
