The Musée d'Orsay continues its partnership with the Collège de France, offering its teachers a unique insight into its collections.
Henry Laurens and Laure Chabanne propose a cross-reading of Ramsès dans son harem by Jean Lecomte du Noüy. This Orientalist painting from 1885-1886 becomes the starting point for a dialogue between Contemporary History of the Arab World and art history, questioning fantasies and representations in the 19th century. This lecture is part of the cycle Orsay vu par le Collège de France.
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm on the Musée d'Orsay auditorium stage.
Speakers
- Henry Laurens, Chair of Contemporary History of the Arab World, Collège de France
- Laure Chabanne, Chief Curator of Painting, Musée d'Orsay.
