Giovanni Antonio Canal, Canaletto (Venice, 1697-1768) was one of the leading
vedutistis, specializing in the veduta, or townscape painting. The genre was
at its height in the 18th century, particularly in Venice. The two splendid
canvases now on display, accompanied by a drawing by Francesco Guardi (Venice,
1712-1793), testify to Canaletto's mastery of perspective and light. Canaletto
made a huge contribution to the creation and diffusion of a repertoire of
images of Venice that would endure down the centuries.

The reforms which the installations of the Paris Art Museum, better known as
Petit Palais, are undergoing at present, have allowed for the exceptional loan
of an ample collection of works belonging to its important permanent
collection -paintings, sculptures and drawings-, which go to form a
comprehensive view of French painting and sculpture of the 19th century and
which include works by the most outstanding representatives. On the impressive
list of artists who will figure in “From Ingres to Cézanne. The 19th century
in the collection of the Petit Palais†one will find among others Ingres,
Delacroix, Courbet, Daumier, Manet, Ribot, Bonnat, Degas, Claudel, Rodin,
Carpeaux, Bonnard, Corot, Pubis de Chavannes, Carrière, Renoir and Cézanne,
united not only by chronology but also by the interest shown by all of them in
the representation -in portraits and sculptures- of the human body.
>From the meticulousness of Ingres to the dissolution of forms through light
and colour of Cezánne, the exhibition will allow the visitor to discover the
richness of French art in the 19th century.
