Galerie Tarantino
Located in the “New Athens” area of Paris, next to the Church of Notre Dame de Lorette, Antoine Tarantino has a passion for Italian Old Masters drawings and paintings and archaeology.
He offers an evocation of the Italian taste, with classical antiquities alongside Old Masters. These specialities complement each other well, and their association is an identitary mark of the Galerie Tarantino.
A room is especially dedicated to old masters drawings, displaying italian artists of the 16th to the 18th century.
The exhibitions regulary organized by the gallery allow the publication of catalogs involving numerous scholars.

Frédérique Mattei
Frédérique Mattei inscribes his creations in a research work on the notion of the link. Her compositions link and build universes to creat a new harmony. In the filiation of the Decorative Arts, it is through jewellery, drawing, sculpture and the creation of Art objects that she expresses herself.
Jewellery-sculptures in limited series, multicoloured rings made of precious gems, sculptural necklaces, unique pieces connecting beads and elements of all centuries and all civilizations. Gold, silver, precious stones, fine stones, rock crystal… make up a refined and dreamlike universe.
She receives, by appointment, in an astonishing setting, an atelier-gallery, hidden away from view.
