In the days filled with anxiety caused by the coronavirus pandemic, art institutions and museums have decided to share some works from their museum collections with a wide, global public.

From the comfort of your home, you can use these six "hashtags" to open the doors of museums around the world. During the coronavirus pandemic, it is important not to forget all the beautiful things that exist in the world.

Isolation and quarantine evoke a whole range of emotions in everyone: from happiness because we don't have to live according to a fixed routine, to anxiety because of the complete uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Take a moment or two every day and immerse yourself in the world of art that can say so much more than words.

Durant cette période de confinement, le musée d'Orsay vous présente chaque jour l'un des plus beaux paysages de ses collections. Aujourd'hui, “Voiliers à Argenteuil” (verse 1888) de Gustave Caillebotte. . Caillebotte is a yachtsman passionate. Il remporte des régates, se fait remarquer par ses bateaux luxueux et posède une maison sur la rive de la Seine facing à Argenteuil. Il se met donc naturellement à peindre des "canotiers" et des voiliers. His vision is influenced by celle de Monet qui fit des voiliers sur la Seine un de ses motifs de prédilection. Manet, Renoir et even Sisley ont également largemente abordé ce thème. C'est ainsi que Caillebotte appears presque démodé, en tout cas retardataire, lorsqu'il expose en 1888 des vues de bateaux sur la Seine. Il n'en demeure pas moins que certaines de ses compositions, comme celle-ci, sont parfaitement equilibrantes, lumineuses, réussies. De plus, avec ses touches épaisses et serrées il s'éloigne des effets plus fluides de Monet et Renoir. . During the lockdown, the Musée d'Orsay presents to you every day one of the most beautiful landscapes in its collections. Today, “Sailing Boats at Argenteuil” (circa 1888) by Gustave Caillebotte. . Caillebotte was passionate about sailing. He won regattas, attracted attention for his luxurious boats and bought a house across the Seine. He therefore naturally began to paint "boaters" and sailing boats. He was influenced by Monet who made the sailing boats on the Seine one of his preferred motifs. Manet, Renoir or Sisley had also tackled this theme. So Caillebotte seemed almost old-fashioned when he exhibited views of boats on the Seine in 1888. But the fact remains that some of these paintings, such as this one, are successful in the balance of composition and the quality of the light he conjures up . And his pictorial surface is heavily worked with broad, closely juxtaposed brushstrokes, very different from the more fluid effects of Monet and Renoir. Full focus available among the 1000 works commented on our site (link in bio). . #museedorsay #museeorsay #orsaymuseum #landscape #paysage #stayathome #restecheztoi #museumfromhome #culturecheznous @culture_gouv @franck_riester

A similar "hashtag" that is also currently trending is #VisitfromHome, but there is also a French version #cultureàdomicile. On Twitter under this "hashtag" you can find short films published by artists from all over the world, in which they comment on their favorite works of art. The artists shot the films in their homes, where they have been living in isolation for the last days and weeks.
