Large museum housing many French and Italian paintings, as well as a vast collection of Western Latin American art
The city's great museum (pronounced "maspé") is the largest of Western art in Latin America. There is a lot of French painting, but also Italian, and to a lesser extent Spanish, Portuguese, Flemish, Dutch, English and German.
The museum is housed in a building designed by architect Lina Bo Bardi since 1968. The controversial Brutalist building, with its four gigantic red pillars and rectangular body made of glass, has become a symbol of the city.
Italian painting. Don't miss Botticelli's Virgin and Child. From the Italian Renaissance, we can mention the Madonna by the Master of Bigallo, Resurrection of Christ by Raphael, or the Woman and Child by Piero di Cosimo.
French painting. It is the Renaissance Mannerists who are mainly exhibited, in particular), the master of the rococo François Lemoyne with his Picnic during the Hunt, in neoclassical work. We then move on to the impressionists with paintings such as Rose and Blue by Cézanne, but also other works by Manet, Degas, Monet and Renoir, post-impressionists (Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec), some works of fauvism (Matisse), others of cubism (Léger, Picasso), surrealism (Duchamp, Ernst, Miró and Chagall).
