You'll be as enchanted by the abbey church as by the magnificent collection of sculptures it houses.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A place steeped in history<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before entering the building, take time to admire the slate roof and the walls of tuffeau, the typical stone of Loire ch\u00e2teaux. It's rare to be able to admire a museum from the outside too. You'll also be charmed by the magnificent Gothic rose that stands proudly before you. But the show is all about the interior. As soon as you enter the building, you'll be struck by the light that floods the space through the formidable glass roofs. Designed to enhance the beauty of the statues, they add a majestic touch to the setting.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-dxSrkx8\/0\/fWx3H5fWQG993S4tB8RjPJ7vGwCBtZwSb5KBSMZZ\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-01-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse of the rose window in the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pierre Prunet, the chief architect of the Monuments Historiques who renovated the David d'Angers Gallery, wanted to highlight the history of the site. If you pay close attention, you'll see the remains of pillars collapsed in the 18th century and left as they are on the ceiling. You'll also notice the harmonious blend of materials. Local slate and tufa stone are blended with more contemporary components such as wood, concrete and glass for the skylights. This material was chosen by Prunet to recall the light when the building was in ruins, but also to evoke the atmosphere of sculptor David's studio. In addition to the beautiful light, we also loved the perspective offered by the gallery and its series of curved arches, giving it a certain lightness.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-44pHtGH\/0\/KzLFjbJhCtHzHZQgfbQg6MvrBPw6wDb8sp538m9C\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-04-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse of the glass roof at the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A soothing space<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you've had time to appreciate the gallery's unique architecture, you can discover the masterpieces it contains. We were particularly taken by the little details that made the visit so original, such as the fact that the sculptures had their backs to us. We enter through the exit, which may seem intriguing, especially when you're used to seeing the collections from the front. However, wandering around them allows us to really focus our attention, and the sculptures take on their full significance.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-2VdXzP7\/0\/CPGpVDjgspF3z3jQW8WCJ6xfJnjBV2GCwJz5Gq26W\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-06-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another detail that really appealed to us was the fact that most of the sculptures were not placed at the visitor's level, but rather overhanging them. This little twist in the scenography, too, lends a certain breadth to the works and makes for an astonishing visit. These two details, coupled with the lighting, give the place a magical aura, and we're sure you too will be enchanted by the unique atmosphere of the David d'Angers Gallery. If you're looking for another unusual museum, we recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-museum-jean-lurcat-angers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mus\u00e9e Jean Lur\u00e7at<\/a>, with its magnificent tapestries.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-rgL3Hm9\/0\/FBw9TFP7hM5fV9HRZvxSqL5NdSnCxjFnx85mhmZTK\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-14-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">David d'Angers in the spotlight<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But who is this David d'Angers we're talking about? He was a brilliant sculptor from Angers in the second half of the 19th century, not to be confused with the other famous David of his time, who was a painter and leader of the neo-classical movement.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Immersion in the world of David d'Angers<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing that struck us about this \"unlike any other\" gallery is that the collection features sculptures mainly in plaster. These are workshop models that were later used for marble or bronze. These are genuine originals, chiselled by the hands of the artist himself, and we found them particularly touching. In fact, David d'Angers was renowned for the precision with which he embodied his characters, particularly his strikingly realistic portraits. A fervent republican and defender of human rights, the artist modeled the faces of contemporaries (artists, politicians, scientists) he admired, and his political commitment was reflected in his choice of these figures.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-XkZP2MR\/0\/CNm8VfL43CDDSgw66fdPMPpvSLN44bb94M8bWGRM8\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-10-L.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of a sculpture inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also really appreciated the fact that we could access all of David d'Angers' work and appreciate the different facets of his corpus. You'll be able to see both his iconic sculptures (in the nave) and his early works (in the abbey church), not forgetting the astonishing gallery of portraits on the mezzanine! You'll find a cross-section of the faces of some of the world's greatest figures, including Victor Hugo and Napoleon Bonoparte. Finally, don't miss the showcases under the mezzanine featuring the artist's preparatory drawings (photo below). Nearly 4,000 drawings are in the collection and are presented in rotation, due to their fragility. These drawings are a real complement to the sculptures on display, providing an insight into David d'Angers' creative process.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-43CX7dn\/0\/Crc6Gnv4kFnHr5tfKntxgqTsM8LfrzFcffK8Qp7RJ\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-11-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus on remarkable works by David d'Angers<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What stands out in this collection is David d'Angers' incredible variety of styles. He was equally adept at handling historical subjects with force, while also immortalizing faces with uncanny precision. In the nave, it's impossible to miss the statue of <em>Jean Bart<\/em>, the famous 17th-century privateer, brandishing his sword to rally his soldiers. Look at how detailed and lively his outfit is, and how much the artist admires his character. This magnificent plaster cast prefigures the bronze statue that now stands on Dunkirk's Place Jean-Bart, erected on an imposing 6m-high pedestal. Created in 1845, this work is one of forty monumental sculptures commissioned by various French cities.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-zGznLjT\/0\/CTfSSGzH2p5nHqm7MrH2MMSPRK2dMBFFsHJ84tVQn\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-08-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just opposite the statue of Jean Bart, you can admire the <em>Panth\u00e9on Fronton<\/em>, which closes the first part of the exhibition. Produced between 1830 and 1837, it was this work that established him as an official and recognized sculptor. What detail in this sculpture! If you look closely, you'll see that the figures at the ends are smaller, creating volume and upward movement towards the central figure. This figure of a woman topped with stars represents the Patrie and gives wreaths of laurel, a flower symbolizing victory and distinction, to the men who have taken part in France's history. We loved detailing this multi-faceted work, which shows David d'Angers' admiration for those who defend freedom.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-dkSZVLK\/0\/VxjQdbDPK8Pz6sXdwGv4XzmBmWxm2LqbR2XhZpW3\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, in the former choir of the abbey church, you'll find one of David's early works, entitled <em>Jeune Grecque<\/em>. This is a plaster cast used to create the sculpture for the tomb of Marco Botzaris, one of the main protagonists of Greek independence. In our opinion, this is one of the most disturbing statues in this collection. We particularly liked the contrast between the person to whom this statue is dedicated (a wartime general) and its motif (the innocent, fragile body of a little girl). How moving it was to see the sadness in this little girl's eyes as she followed the \"Botzaris\" inscription on the tombstone with her delicate fingers.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Angers\/Galerie-David\/i-5h9j2hw\/0\/DVTbrDtDRzHRCLC4pmmSs66xZSsctdMbtDhq2TcGS\/L\/galerie-david-angers-de&#x301;tails-12-L.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse inside the Galerie David in Angers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before being sent to Greece, this piece was exhibited at the Salon in Paris in 1827. It both fascinated and shocked critics, who saw the crude depiction of the teenager's body as sacrilegious. Yet this choice is not insignificant, since adolescence, symbolizing the passage from childhood to adulthood, recalls the state of 19th-century Greece, still under the yoke of the Ottoman Empire. This statue is therefore a magnificent allegory, i.e. an idea that takes the form of an image. We therefore strongly recommend that you take the time to observe each of the statues and ask yourself what lies behind their perfect execution...<\/p>\n\n<div

Your children are looked after by mediators for 1h30 and can take part in modeling workshops (11-15 years), investigations with challenges (7-12 years) or a treasure hunt (4-6 years).

After your visit, you can:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a look at the Clo\u00eetre Toussaint just to the left of the gallery,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stroll through the charming garden of the <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-museum-fine-arts-angers\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"8424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts<\/a> and give yourself a vitamin boost by looking at the statue by Nikki de Saint-Phalle (photo below),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-cathedrale-saint-maurice-cathedral-angers\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"5639\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saint-Maurice Cathedral<\/a>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit the Ch\u00e2teau d'Angers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/fr\/activites-attractions-angers-c67158\/billets-pour-chateau-d-angers-entree-prioritaire-p974694\/?partner=region_lovers&amp;tq_campaign=LL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Ticket here<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You'll soon be able to discover all these nuggets in new articles!

The David d'Angers Gallery is a former abbey church entirely dedicated to exhibiting the work of the artist of the same name, who in 1811 bequeathed his works to the town in gratitude for the pension he received for his studies. The Mus\u00e9e d'Angers, on the other hand, is housed in a former town house and boasts a much larger collection. The tour covers more than 3,000m2 and includes a section dedicated to the history of Angers and a section dedicated to the Fine Arts, with more than 300 pieces (paintings, sculptures and objets d'art) ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"
