COROT. THE PAINTER AND HIS MODELS
MARMOTTAN MONET
Under the curatorship of
Sebastian Allard, General Heritage Curator and Director of the Department of
Paintings in the Musée du Louvre, the exhibition ‘Corot. Le peintre et ses
modèles’ (‘Corot: the painter and his models’) will be the first Parisian event
devoted to the artist’s work since the major retrospective held in 1996 in
the Grand Palais. Scheduled to be held in the Musée Marmottan Monet between
8 February and 8 July 2018,the exhibition will bring
together an exceptional ensemble of figurative paintings and will highlight
the most intimate, secret, and modern aspects of the artist’s works.
The exhibition will display
around sixty of these figure-based works, loaned by the
most prestigious public and private collections in Europe and the United
States (such as the Musée du Louvre, the National Gallery in London, the
Metropolitan Museum in New York, the National Gallery in Washington, the
Kunsthalle in Hamburg, the Belvedere in Vienna, and the Bührle Foundation in
Zurich), with the intention of exploring this relatively unknown side of the
artist’s oeuvre. There will be masterpieces such as the famous Femme à la
Perle (Woman With a Pearl), the Louvre’s Dame en Bleu (Lady in Blue), and the
National Gallery’s impressive Italienne (Italian Woman), which was once held
in the collection of the painter Lucian Freud, along with other works that
are just as splendid but rarely seen, such as his nudes.

“The
opening of trade and diplomatic links with Japan in 1868 enabled Western
artists to discover artistic forms that were radically different from those
they had been taught for centuries.
Impressionist
and Post-Impressionist painters were sensitive to the refinement of an art
that reflected their own aspirations, paving the way for a veritable artistic
revolution.
The
exhibition will feature around 120 paintings and prints, from Monet to Van
Gogh.”
