Philippe de Champaigne Paintings Restored at Sorbonne's Chapelle Sainte-Ursule in Paris

Paintings by Philippe de Champaigne have been restored to their former brilliance at the Chapelle Sainte-Ursule of the Sorbonne in Paris. The building in the Quartier latin, which had been closed for works, will reopen its doors exceptionally for the Journées européennes du patrimoine on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September. The event offers the public a rare chance to see the restored Champaigne canvases in the chapel of the Sorbonne. The reopening is tied to the European Heritage Days weekend, when normally inaccessible or recently renovated heritage sites welcome visitors. The chapel, dedicated to Sainte-Ursule, forms part of the historic Sorbonne complex in the Latin Quarter. No further details on the restoration campaign or visiting arrangements were provided in the source.
