David, Delacroix, and Revolutionary France: Drawings from the Louvre

23 Sep, 2011 - 31 Dec, 2011
From the time of the French Revolution of 1789 through the reign of King Louis-Philippe and the establishment of the Second Empire in 1852, an incredible concentration of artistic talent brought its collective skill to bear on one of the most turbulent times in French history. This exhibition features some of the greatest examples of works on paper of the period from Paris's famed Mus茅e du Louvre. Included are eighty drawings by such noted artists as David, Prud'hon, Ingres, G茅ricault, Delacroix, and Corot.

Rarely does the Louvre allow such a major group of drawings, with so many iconic works, to travel. The exhibition will offer visitors a singular opportunity to experience the mastery of the era. The Morgan is the only venue for this important show.

The Morgan acknowledges the exceptional collaboration of the Mus茅e du Louvre, Paris, and the support of the Mus茅e d'Orsay, Paris.

This exhibition is made possible by a major gift from Karen H. Bechtel. Generous support is provided by the Alex Gordon Fund for Exhibitions, the Robert Lehman Foundation, Inc., Karen B. Cohen, the National Endowment for the Arts, and The Grand Marnier Foundation, with additional assistance from Patrick and Elizabeth Gerschel.

The catalogue is generously underwritten by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation.
