A Matisse master stroke – Opening at the Royal Academy of Art from 5 August to 15 November 2017, the sumptuous Henri Matisse exhibition ‘Matisse in the Studio’ offers a rare glimpse into the artist’s personal collection of objects from around the world with many of the exhibits originally adorning or painted in his studio in Nice.
Chapters Experience Holidays is offering the perfect six-day holiday to follow in Matisse’s footsteps in the city where he spent the last and very productive 37 years of his life.

In addition, the trip also includes excursions to the medieval hilltop enclaves of Eze, St Paul de Vence and Vence where Matisse lived and painted for six years of his life.
