Claudio Marinaccio's Comic Tour of Musée d'Orsay
Italian artist Claudio Marinaccio (born 1982, Turin) has created a comic strip for Artribune magazine, guiding readers through the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The museum, housed in a former railway station built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, is renowned for its Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection, including works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Claude Monet. The interior was redesigned in the late 1970s by Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who preserved the original structure while introducing new elements. This is Marinaccio's second museum comic for Artribune, following a previous one on the Museo Egizio in Turin.
