Carrières des Lumières

An extraordinary immersion into art and music. In the heart of the Alpilles, the monumental Carrières des Lumières host exceptional immersive exhibitions. 

Long program
FROM VERMEER TO VAN GOGH, THE DUTCH MASTERS

Artistic direction: Virginie Martin
Staging and animation: Cutback
Production: Culturespaces Digital®

This digital creation presents the Northern painters’ genius through a true immersion in authentic painting, close to nature and its subjects. The public is submerged in the reality of everyday life, following in the footsteps of great masters who approach the ordinary in an extraordinary way. Vermeer, much like a filmmaker, chooses his frame and stages a suspended universe. Master of Chiaroscuro, Rembrandt invites introspection. From the kingdom of gods by Abraham Bloemaert to the frozen expanses of Hendrick Avercamp; through the sea of Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom to the festive tavern of Jan Steen, the exhibition transports us into the fascinating Dutch world. Finally, Van Gogh, a worthy heir of this 17th Century generation, takes us under both the sun and night of the South of France.
