Copistes
Curated by Donatien Grau & Chiara Parisi
Jun 14, 2025 - Feb 2, 2026
Centre Pompidou-Metz

In an exceptional collaboration with the Louvre Museum, from June 14, 2025 to January 12, 2026, the Centre Pompidou-Metz is dedicating a unique exhibition to the art of copyists. Copying lies at the heart of classical tradition: to copy the masters, to learn their techniques, canons, and narratives, to absorb their expertise, is to make their mastery our own—it is a path to knowledge and creation, from the most academic to the most contemporary forms.
