The current exhibition on display at the Hôtel de la Marine in Paris presents a beguilingly beautiful display of Renaissance art that conjures up a world of erudite collectors and brilliant artists. A Taste for the Renaissance: a dialogue between collections combines master pieces f rom the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Al Thani Collection, illustrating how the fashion for creating private art collections reached new heights in the 16th century in the studioli of Italy and the Kunst- and Wunderkammern of Northern Europe.
