Exhibitions - Musée des Beaux Arts de Lyon
Jacques Stella (1596 - 1657)
Until 19 February 2007
First large exhibition dedicated to Jacques Stella, major painter of eighteenth century French Art, and probably one of the most original artists of his time. This exhibition, in the artist’s birth town, retraces Stella’s diversity through 200 paintings, drawings and engravings. Chronicler of daily life, painter of the angels and Madonna, inventor of classic and sacred subjects, illustrator, occasional portraitist and frequent landscapist, Stella commands grace and emotion.
The exhibition was designed by Gilles Chomer (1950-2002), art historian at the Université de Lyon 2 and at the CNRS, who collated the exhibition content with passion. His premature death incited his friends and students to complete the work he had begun.
Les Dessins Orientalistes
Until 2 April 2007, 10am - 1pm and 2pm-6pm (closed on Tuesdays)
A selection of 15 drawings by four nineteenth century French painters from the museum’s Cabinet of Graphic Arts. The most recognised of these, Eugene Delacroix, reveals, through his notebooks from Morocco, 1832, a romantic fascination with the civilisation he discovered there.
