Impressionism - Louvre Abu Dhabi

Featuring pioneering works by Manet, Degas, and Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Cézanne, the exhibition brings together more than 150 masterpieces alongside etchings, costumes, film and photography to explore why Impressionism was considered so shocking in the 19th century and how it paved the way for the artistic revolutions that were to come.

For "Impressionism: Pathways to Modernity," a landmark exhibition at the Louvre Abu Dhabi in partnership with the Musée d'Orsay, we crafted a bespoke lighting design that was as revolutionary as the art it showcased. Our challenge was to illuminate over 150 masterpieces by giants like Manet, Degas, and Monet, alongside etchings, costumes, film, and photography, ensuring each piece resonated with its full emotional and historical power, while respecting its delicate nature.
