Since the earliest human artistic expressions, women have been an aesthetic model both coveted and fantasized. Touring the permanent exhibition, one quickly realizes there are more paintings of women than works by women artists. One may wonder why this is the case? The observation of art pieces, however, reveals different types of women: all social classes and ages are represented and can have various symbolic connotations. Discover during this thematic tour the representation of roles and identities of women in Villa Vauban's permanent collection. A special guided tour invites you to explore classic artworks through a queer perspective. Delve into the hidden stories and alternate readings of 17th- to 19th-century masterpieces, as we reinterpret portraits, genre scenes, and landscapes with an inclusive outlook. While our collection may not explicitly feature artists known as queer today, these pieces can be appreciated from diverse viewpoints, revealing new dimensions of identity, beauty, and connection. Highlights include Dutch Golden Age works, Italian dreamscapes, and French masterpieces by Jan Brueghel the Younger, Canaletto, and Eugène Delacroix.
