Michael Simonow has built up, over forty years, a collection of masterpieces by the greatest masters: Rubens, Renoir, Monet... Seduced by the beauty of the Cistercian abbey of Flaran, he entrusted his prestigious collection, which continues to grow over the years, to the General Council of Gers. After those devoted to portraits and landscapes, this third work highlights the animals and other chimeras from this collection, through more than thirty works that offer a transversal vision of the great European artistic movements, from the 16th to the 21st century. Guys's Ride in Hyde Park, a Cow by Troyon, Valadon's Dog, Picasso's Centaur... These little-known works by major artists are a wonderful discovery, in the heart of one of the great sites of the Midi-Pyrénées region.
