Le musée Gulbenkian Lisbonne Le musée Calouste-Gulbenkian (Museu Calouste Gulbenkian en portugais) est un musée situé à Lisbonne. Le musée Gulbenkian est un musée exceptionnel présentant des œuvres d’art de 2000 avant JC jusqu’au début du XXe siècle. La collection (6 000 pièces dont 1 000 font partie de l'exposition permanente) a été donnée par Calouste Gulbenkian, un philanthrope et mécène d'origine arménienne. Né en 1869 à Scutari, Calouste Gulbenkian était un homme d'affaires important qui fit fortune dans le domaine des industries pétrolières. Collectionneur d'une sensibilité et d'une connaissance exceptionnelles, il vécut les treize dernières années de sa vie à Lisbonne où il décéda en 1955. Le musée a ouvert ses portes en Octobre 1969. Les pièces d’exposition permanente sont formées de deux circuits indépendants. La première est consacrée à l’art asiatique et des morceaux classiques de l’art égyptien, gréco-romaine, islamique, chinois et japonais. L’autre circuit est consacré à l’art européen, avec des sections présentant des livres manuscrits enluminés, des ivoires, des peintures, des sculptures, des médailles, des tapisseries et des tissus, ainsi que des pièces de mobilier, d'orfèvrerie et de verrerie. Ces objets illustrent les manifestations artistiques qui se sont affirmées dans différentes régions, du XIe siècle jusqu'à la moitié du XXe siècle. Ce circuit a un cœur dédié de livres anciens, de sculptures et de peintures, avec des maîtres de renommée mondiale comme Rogier van der Weyden, Rubens, Rembrandt, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Frans Hals et des exemples du Rococo (Boucher, Fragonard). Il y a également peintres du dix-neuvième siècle tels que Manet, Renoir, Degas. La visite du musée s'achève dans la salle 12 consacrée à l'Art nouveau où est présenté un ensemble de bijoux, parures, verreries, ivoires de René Lalique, considéré unique au monde. Lalique fut l'unique artiste moderne dont Calouste Gulbenkian devint le client et l'ami ; il acquit 169 de ses créations entre 1895 et 1937. Photos et texte du Net Créations Delia Florea
