Paris may be known for its haute couture and fine art, but few creators have left a mark quite like René Lalique. How did a visionary jeweler and glassmaker revolutionize the world of design, transforming materials into living art? From his intricate Art Nouveau pieces to his bold Art Deco creations, prepare to be mesmerized by the enduring brilliance of Lalique's work.

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the extraordinary world of René Lalique (1860-1945), a Parisian artist whose innovative approach to jewelry and glass design redefined luxury and beauty, and continues to captivate the world.

Led by French art historian and museum educator Tosca Ruggieri, our unique experience surrounding the techniques, inspirations, and cultural impact behind his iconic creations will uncover:

  • Lalique's artistic evolution from a pioneering jeweler to a master glassmaker, blending nature-inspired motifs with intricate craftsmanship
  • The revolutionary techniques that set Lalique apart, with a focus on his innovative use of enamel, gemstones, and glass that pushed the boundaries of design
  • His role in shaping the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements
  • The enduring allure of Lalique's iconic creations — his timeless jewelry and breathtaking glassware remain symbols of elegance and sophistication
  • The impact of Lalique's work on contemporary designers, who continue to draw inspiration from his visionary artistry

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Tosca — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

About Tosca
Growing up amongst the artistic treasures of North-Eastern France and Tuscany, art inspired Tosca from an early age. This led her to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History in Paris as well as a Master’s Degree in Art & Archaeology from EPHE-Sorbonne. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Arts & Cultural Management from King’s College London.
After a career in art galleries across London and teaching art history at French universities, Tosca embarked on creating Art with Tosca to share her passion for art. In D.C., Tosca crafts and leads curated tours of the National Gallery of Art, highlighting the museum’s collection of masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance to Modern masters.
Tosca wants to make art history accessible, interesting and engaging by transporting guests through centuries of art, either from the comfort of home through numerous lectures and virtual events, or locally in Washington D.C. through the halls of the National Gallery of Art.
