Cradle of Romance: Paris Museum of Romantic L...

Take this in-app audio tour to explore a must-see museum for all the Romantic souls of the world! This tiny museum, unique in Paris if not the world, is a microcosm of the Romantic movement that swept Europe in the early 1800s. Inspired by a love of nature and an emerging sense of individuality, writers such as Byron, Shelley, Walter Scott & Goethe began writing Romantic novels that, in turn, inspired numerous artists. The Museum of Romantic Life is situated in a private mansion built in 1830 for one of these artists, a Dutch painter named Ary Scheffer. His circle of friends included Chopin, Lizst, Rossini, George Sand, Dickens, Turgenev, and Delacroix, to name a few. These artists gathered in Scheffer's mansion to exchange ideas, share their work and relax. The museum displays Sheffer's work – his paintings, sculptures, and other objects. Two leading figures of the day are highlighted – George Sand, the author; and Ernest Renan, related to Scheffer by marriage. The entire ground floor serves as a homage to Sand, the most popular author of her day in both France and England. Note! This tour is not affiliated with the Museum of Romantic Life but is provided by an independent creator.
