"For more than a decade, the French city of Lille’s Palais des Beaux-Arts — which was inaugurated in 1892 and is home to France’s second largest collection behind only the Louvre — has deployed a kind of “museo-therapy” that uses the museum space and the treasures held within it to help treat patients from local hospitals.

But in September 2023, this initiative became a little more formal when it signed an agreement with the University Hospital Center of Lille (CHU) to offer 140 museum art therapy sessions over a year to patients who have been given a “museum prescription” by doctors, making it one of the most significant programs of its kind in the world.

The idea of a museum prescription, which fits under an umbrella of out-of-hospital, nonclinical treatment known as social prescribing, is that exposure to art and culture or history can complement, accelerate or potentially even displace some forms of medical care in traditional settings — in an effective, enjoyable and low-cost manner.

Further afield, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has worked with the Francophone Doctors of Canada association since 2018 to offer a form of museum prescriptions, albeit without Lille’s art therapy aspect. In Brussels, Belgium, doctors in one of the city’s largest hospitals have been prescribing museum visits to patients suffering from depression, stress and anxiety since 2022 — and this year that expanded to 18 “medical structures” and 13 museums in the city. Singapore has run an Arts for Healing Program connecting patients with offerings at local music schools and community gardens since 2021. The newly formed advocacy group Social Prescribing USA aims to make social prescribing available to every American by 2035, building on projects already running in Massachusetts and New Jersey."

Spartacus che spezza le sue catene (1847) “Bronzo, 219 x 94 x 6 cm” [Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, Lille, Francia] -- Denis Foyatier (Francese; 1793 - 1863)

“Ci fissa, con un aspetto severo, allo stesso tempo tristemente determinato e furioso. Nella mano destra, una spada. A sinistra, le sue catene rotte. Spartaco, il soldato dell'esercito romano diventato un gladiatore, si è appena liberato dai suoi catene ed è determinato a combattere.

La vita di questo personaggio storico è difficile da rintracciare. Tutto quello che sappiamo con certezza è che nacque in Tracia - oggi nella penisola balcanica - e che guidò una rivolta di schiavi tra il 73 e il 71 a.C. Questa rivolta fu repressa violentemente dal generale romano Crasso.

Spartaco è ancora oggi visto come l'epitome della resistenza contro un regime totalitario. Lui è un esempio di virtù. Non sorprende allora che la scultura sia stata oggetto di sfruttamento politico!

In effetti, qui vedete un simbolo dei Trois Glorieuses, i tre giorni di rivoluzione. Questi tre giorni di rivolta, nel luglio 1830, portarono alla rimozione di Carlo X e all'ascesa di Luigi Filippo. Infatti sappiamo che non era intenzione dell'artista denunciare la reale, anzi... La versione marmorea di Spartaco, ora conservata al Louvre, fu commissionata all'artista, nel 1828, dall'amministrazione reale di Carlo X! La storia stessa crea i suoi paradossi. ”
