Pierre Rosenberg, former president-director of the Louvre from 1994 to 2001, is the focus of a new podcast titled À voix nue, which delves into his deep connection with art history. Now 90, Rosenberg is known for his ability to identify any French or Italian painting from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Rosenberg's lifelong dedication to art

Rosenberg has spent over forty years working closely with artists and contributing to the world of fine art. His career has been marked by a commitment to preserving and promoting artistic heritage through various roles and projects.

Podcast explores personal passions

The podcast, hosted by art historian Marie-Lys de Saint Salvy, examines Rosenberg’s life, revealing two major influences: his fascination with cats and his deep admiration for the 17th-century painter Nicolas Poussin. These passions have shaped much of his professional and personal life.

Rosenberg on Poussin's artistic vision

Rosenberg reflects on Poussin, particularly his painting L'Hiver, noting how the artist used "simple brushes" to create work that "makes painting equal to poetry." This perspective highlights Rosenberg’s deep respect for Poussin’s ability to blend visual and poetic expression.
