From Field to Artwork – Exhibition at the Lisieux Museum

The Tuesday 27 October at 14 a.m00

38 Boulevard Pasteur 14100 LISIEUX

An indispensable animal, the cow embodies the very essence of our countryside. She roams the pastures, symbolises the regions, and is the peaceful provider. We see them all around us, as well as in the works of painters, who have skilfully incorporated them into their scenes, even glorifying them for the beauty of their coats. This exhibition invites you to discover the history of how the cow has been depicted over time, its symbolic roles, and its gradual emergence in large-scale works. From mythology to animal husbandry, from rural scenes to animal history painting, the Lisieux Museum of Art and History invites you to discover the beauty of animals, with your feet in the grass.
