Considered today as a moment of sharing and conviviality bringing together relations, families or friends around the table, the meal has also been for centuries the occasion to put power on stage.
With some 350 illustrations, this catalogue offers a journey through the centuries at the table, from libations offered to the gods to philosophical banquets and Roman bacchanals, from medieval feasts to receptions for ambassadors from distant countries, from the sumptuous tables of the Ancien Régime to the Elysée Palace today.
Exhibition at the musée du Louvre-Lens from 19 May to 26 July 2021
