“One thing we knew for certain – we needed to start the series with ‘Liberty Leading the People’ by Eugène Delacroix, she details. Marianne, an embodiment of the ideals of ‘Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité’ – a symbol of the French Republic and the values of humanism, fraternity, generosity and sharing, the same values as the Games. This is why Marianne is also the emblem of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, making this masterpiece the perfect starting point for our series.”

We carefully selected important, recognizable pieces of art history and crafted a collection that includes paintings and sculptures created by renowned French artists such as Monet, Manet, Seurat, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rodin, and many more artists who were key figures in the artistic movements leading up to Art Deco,” Franzi concludes.
