French painter Hubert Robert on display at the National Gallery

Around ten years ago, the Louvre decided to launch a project Around the Berber painter, who is one of our fetish artists. Very quickly, the idea came up to propose the collaboration with our colleagues from the National Gallery. Our hope is to make known a very very fine artist. Who is very appreciated both in France and in the United States by amateurs, specialists, collectors, which is perhaps less well known to the general public, So he is really a major figure of the century of Enlightenment. He's really an artist who's been very very close to the great minds. Who have allowed, who have brought the American Revolution Like they carried the French Revolution. Berber, from this point of view, is a very interesting artist Because he's an artist who works so much with images, With the forms, with the history. We'll see in the exhibition of very very beautiful representations The destruction of the Bastille, for example, This was a key moment in the French Revolution. And then very beautiful representations also from the Musée du Louvre, Who is a creation of the French Revolution? And in the end, this is a bit of the museum matrix for the National Gallery here.
