Exhibition "From Venice to Jerusalem" - Léopold Baijot

From November 13 to 28, the Hôtel de Ville de Verviers - place du Marché, 1 - welcomes "De Venise in Jerusalem", an exhibition dedicated to the work of the Verviers painter Léopold Baijot. It extends the donation of two canvases to the Museums in June 2025: "The sun rises over Ville Sainte Jérusalem" and "Dawn tremor in Venice". It is also part of the City's desire to open its public buildings to local artists. Placed under the high patronage of Son Altesse Royale la Princesse Léa of Belgium, the exhibition can be visited in the presence of the artist. Léopold Baijot, an internationally recognized Verviers painter, is both an occidentalist and an orientalist. His journey takes him from Venice to Jerusalem, "in search of all the lights of the world". Each painting is for him a quest for beauty. He moves away from the dark hues of past centuries and makes way for the purity of solar colors. His palette combines warm and cool colors to create intense lights, in the service of an art of inner emotions. Schedules: Monday to Friday: 2 p.m.-5 p.m. saturday: 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Presence of the artist during opening hours
