Renaissance art flourished in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. This exhibition features over 50 works from the Louvre's collection, aiming to showcase some key characteristics of this rich and complex artistic movement. Renaissance artists rediscovered the value of ancient Greek and Roman culture, even surpassing the spread of Christianity in importance, and placed great emphasis on human subjectivity. Leonardo da Vinci's *Portrait of a Woman* (commonly known as *Philonié*) is on display in Japan for the first time. This masterpiece of Renaissance portraiture demonstrates a profound interest in individuality. Da Vinci was an artist who constantly challenged himself, striving not only to capture the outward features of his subjects but also to depict their complex inner emotions. This exhibition showcases a diverse range of works, encompassing paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and crafts, centered around four main themes related to Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most representative figures of the Renaissance: travel, technical innovation and refinement, a recollection of the classics, and the rise of portraiture. This will be a valuable opportunity to experience the essence of Renaissance art.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the event, and in 2026, a significant milestone, the celebrations are enhanced by a variety of exciting activities, including carefully prepared limited-edition merchandise and special events. The venue recreates the Christmas market of Stuttgart, Germany, renowned as the world's largest. It features 10 shops, including Kate Wohlfahrt, famous for its year-round supply of traditional German Christmas goods, as well as authentic German delicacies such as Gruyères, sausages, and Strömming, offering a warm and cozy winter experience.
