From L'Âge de l'éloquence to L'École du silence, from La République des Lettres to Paris New-York et Retour, Marc Fumaroli (1932-2020) of the Académie française has left a considerable intellectual legacy in literary history and art history studies. Professor of Rhetoric and Society in Europe (16th-17th centuries) at the Collège de France (1987-2002), he was also President of the Société des Amis du Louvre for two decades (1996-2016). A two-day colloquium on Marc Fumaroli's work in literature, the arts and cultural policy will be held at the Collège de France and the Louvre auditorium.

The symposium is broadcast live on YouTube.
