From Parmigianino to Fantin-Latour: Four Centuries of Old Master Drawings from the Musée de Grenoble
Art Services International is pleased to announce an exhibition presenting four centuries of Old Master drawings from the Musée de Grenoble, one of the most important French museums outside Paris. The exhibition will bring together exquisite masterworks by artists of the French, Italian, and Northern schools from the end of the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. The collection of Italian drawings comprises a rich and diverse selection of works covering a broad range, featuring such greats as Parmigianino, Palma Giovane, Annibale Carracci, Guercino, and Tiepolo, together with equally beautiful and moving works by lesser-known masters. French art from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is explored through sheets bus such masters as Simon Vouet, Francois Boucher, Fragonard, and David. Also included is a drawing by Niccolò dell'Abate that illustrates the Italians' contribution to the first school of Fontainebleau. The exhibition's selection of Northern drawings emphasizes the Dutch masters and is dominated by Rembrandt's Oriental Man Standing and also includes an exquisite drawing from the German school of the sixteenth century, by Caspar Freisinger. The Flemish school of the seventeenth century is magnificently represented by two beautiful drawings by Jacob Jordaens. Among the exhibition's nineteenth-century drawings are stunning works by the most important French artists of the century, including Millet, Delacroix, Puvis de Chavannes, and Fantin-Latour. Most of the 84 drawings have not been seen outside France, and thus provide a unique opportunity for American audiences to experience these superb examples of European draftsmanship for the first time. The exhibition will begin traveling in 2013.
