Under the curatorship of Sebastian Allard, General Heritage Curator and Director of the Department of Paintings in the Mus\u00e9e du Louvre, the exhibition ‘Corot. Le peintre et ses mod\u00e8les’ (‘Corot: the painter and his models’) is the first Parisian event devoted to the artist’s work since the major retrospective held in 1996 in the Grand Palais. On view in the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet between 8 February and 8 July 2018, the exhibition brings together an exceptional ensemble of figurative paintings and highlights the most intimate, secret, and modern aspects of the artist’s works. Primarily famous for his landscapes and studies of motifs, which opened the way for the modernism of the Impressionists, Camille Corot also painted figures. However, the master preferred to keep these works in his studio, from where they rarely departed, and even then they only went to a few friends, dealers, and collectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
