France Discovers A Nineteenth Century Artist

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Charles Gleyre

Deluge

(1856)

Unlike in Switzerland where he is regularly celebrated,
no French national museum to date has devoted
an exhibition to Charles Gleyre.

His role in French painting of the mid 19th century
is still underestimated.

***

The Musée d’Orsay, the leading museum for western art
of the 19th century, is presenting...the solo exhibition
“Charles Gleyre. The Genius of Invention”
