The Tudors
18 March > 19 July 2015
PRESENTATION OF THE EXHIBITION
Of all the dynasties that have succeeded one another on the English throne, the Tudors, who reigned between 1485 and 1603, are certainly one of the most popular. Apart from the legend largely inspired by their private lives, the sovereigns left a deep imprint on the history of the kingdom: politically, by giving it a strategic position in Europe; spiritually, by breaking away from the Catholic Church; and culturally, by welcoming the Renaissance. Artists from Italy, Flanders and Germanic countries entered the service of the court to meet the new need for Royal portraits. It was at the confines of all these influences, in a country undergoing great upheavals, that the original forms of the English Renaissance were developed. This exhibition is the first in France on the subject.
Paul Durand-Ruel
The gamble of the Impressionists
Manet, Monet, Renoir
9 October 2014 > 8 February 2015
CURATOR
Sylvie Patry
EXHIBITION PRESENTATION
The museums have not yet dedicated an event or comprehensive study to Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922), one of the greatest dealers in the world at the turn of the 20th century and a major figure in the history of Impressionism. From the beginning of the 1870s, Paul Durand-Ruel discovered and supported Impressionist painters with flair and passion, buying and selling thousands of Impressionist paintings, including the masterpieces of the movement, often in difficult circumstances. A painting «missionary» as Renoir liked to call him, he also contributed to the invention of the modern art market and gave an unprecedented international dimension to his gallery, particularly in the United States. At the turn of the 20th century, the dealer had established the largest European and American Impressionist collections, both public and private.

The Renaissance and dream
9 October 2013 > 26 January 2014
CURATOR
Chiara Rabbi Bernard, Alessandro Cecchi, Yves Hersant
EXHIBITION PRESENTATION
Bringing together around eighty works by celebrated Renaissance artists, from Hieronymus Bosch to Veronese, and including Dürer and Correggio, the exhibition gives us an insight into the golden age of the representation of dreams. It takes us, from the moment of sleep to the moment of wakening, through dreams and nightmarish visions, and invites us to give free rein to our imagination, to lose ourselves in the disturbing images of dreams.
The exhibition is organised by the Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais and the Soprintendenza del Polo Museale Fiorentino
