Théodore Chassériau (1819-1856) stands out from the rest in the panorama of French art from the first half of the 19th century. Frequently – and too hastily – classified between the pure line of Ingres and the flamboyant palette of Delacroix, his singular art, a strange blend of energy and melancholy, nevertheless clearly distinguished him from his contemporaries. Chassériau is the painter of loss, desire and amorous frustration, hidden feelings and unrequited love.
The presentations in this collection bring out the painter’s distinctive poetics, and place his work at the heart of new lines of questioning.
