With a reputation as perhaps the most artistic city in the world, it is no surprise that the Pompidou Centre in Paris is to thrill art fans again with an exhibition of some of Henri Matisse`s greatest works.

The legendary French painter will be the subject of a new display which focuses on his tendency to explore particular themes or motifs in either pairs or sets of pieces. Opening on 7 March and running until 18 June, ‘Henri Matisse: variations on a common theme or pattern` is expected to offer a fascinating insight into the artist`s meticulous techniques and processes.

An ambitious and wide-ranging project, the exhibition will feature paintings from throughout Matisse`s long and illustrious life, including 1904`s career-defining Luxury, calm and voluptuousness and Blue Nude from 1952.

Make the most of this opportunity to learn more about one of the world`s best artists with a luxurious city break; look up Paris hotels today to ensure you relax in style after soaking up the French capital`s culture.
