Curator in Conversation
December 14, 2016 / 18:30
Lucienne Del’Furia, one of the co-curators of the exhibition Félix Ziem: Wanderer on the Sea of Light will take a closer look into Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. Long forgotten by art historians after his death in 1911, the artist was hailed as a forerunner of impressionism and as a pre-impressionist. This presentation will explore Ziem’s life as well as his creative process and present new angles into his work.
Lucienne Del'Furia is a graduate of the Louvre School, the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne and the National Institute of Heritage. She was the curator of the museum of underwater archeology and then took on the responsibility for the cultural heritage of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Since her arrival in 2006 as the director of the Ziem Museum, she has presented several exhibitions on Ziem and has contributed to many books on this artist.
Free of admissions, limited seats.
The talk is in French with Turkish consecutive translation.
“A nameless Egyptian fresco, an African idol or a vase from Crete: we should behold Pirosmani’s art among them. Only this way it is possible to conceive it genuinely … …You see Pirosmani – you believe in Georgia”.

Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined. Through the exhibition, we will be sharing detailed information about the artist and the artworks.
