Monday night until 9:30pm From the disciple of Rubens to the court painter of King Charles I of England, the Jacquemart-André Museum retraces the key phases of Anthony Van Dyck’s career as a master portrait painter by bringing together his finest works from the major museums of Europe and the United States. This tribute is the very first time that Van Dyck has been the subject of such an exhibition on French soil.
Inspired by the Italian School, Van Dyck developed a style that sits somewhere between that of his mentor Rubens and the work of Titian. A brilliant court artist, he is famous for his paintings of the English royal family, most notably Charles I. His mournful yet elegant gift for expression captivated the English aristocracy and led to the creation of a magnificent series of portraits of Europe’s most powerful figures, the Stuarts foremost among them.

This extraordinary family collection has been gathered for 100 years by three passionate generations. It contains around 100 pieces (statues, masks, pendents, totems, headdresses, crests, swords, sceptres...), and uncomparable “gems” such as the Nigerian 12th century “Horseman Sceptre”. This collection is staying for five months in Paris, which will certainly make the art world quite envious. Don’t miss it!

Rates : 9,5 euro Following the bicentenary of the death of Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806),
the Jacquemart-André Museum pays homage to one of the greatest painters
in the history of art, highlighting a greatly neglected aspect of the artist’s
work: illustrations.
From 3 October 2007 to 13 January 2008, the Jacquemart-André Museum
will be presenting a unique collection of around one hundred works by the painter
Fragonard from all over the world. The exhibition paints the picture of an artist
who was far more cultured than one could imagine and who, beyond the atmosphere
of an age of which he is the most brilliant interpreter, knew how to illustrate
and translate the thoughts and tastes of his time: alternating between pleasure
and artistic refinement.
On the occasion of the bicentenary of the death of Fragonard (the artist died
in Paris in 1806 at the age of 74), it was important that Paris, the city where
Fragonard spent his entire career, should pay homage to one of the greatest
painters of the eighteenth century. In France, this anniversary celebration
was not marked by any major events and no major exhibition of the artist’s
work has been put on for twenty years.
Through around one hundred works taken from around the world, the exhibition
highlights the work of one of the greatest painters of the eighteenth century
who is an eminent representative of the tastes and the culture of his time.
The Jacquemart-André Museum, which has a wealth of works from this period,
was designed in an entirely natural manner so as to provide an appropriate setting
to host an exhibition which proposes to revisit the artist’s work and
show it in a completely new light. Marie-Anne Dupuy-Vachey, an art historian
and author of two books on Fragonard, is the curator of the exhibition.
