Gallery Talk / Monet’s Paris, 1867
In 1867, during the waning years of Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s radical transformation of Paris, Claude Monet requested special authorization to paint at the Louvre. Rather than copy the masterpieces inside the museum, as had generations of artists before him, Monet turned his view in the opposite direction—toward the city itself. Join Marlise Brown, Associate Curator of European and American Art, for a gallery talk on the Allen’s current exhibition, Picturing Paris: Monet and the Modern City. This exhibition reunites three of Monet’s important cityscapes of Paris painted from an elevated viewpoint inside the Louvre: Oberlin’s Garden of the Princess, plus Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois (on loan from the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin) and Quai du Louvre (on loan from the Kunstmuseum in the Hague).
