Mus\u00e9e du Luxembourg Exposition: L\u00e9on Monet (1836-1917), the overlooked brother of Claude Monet (1840-1926), Paris, 15 March 2023 – 15 July 2023.<\/p>\n
The Mus\u00e9e du Luxembourg is presenting an unprecedented exhibition on L\u00e9on Monet (1836-1917), the overlooked brother of Claude Monet (1840-1926). A colour chemist, Rouen-based industrialist and collector, L\u00e9on Monet played a key role in his artist brother’s career. In 1872, at a time when Claude, having returned from Le Havre, painted Impression, Sunrise, L\u00e9on founded the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Industrielle de Rouen and decided to actively support his brother and his Impressionist friends. This sparked the beginning of a remarkable collection of modern art.<\/p>\n
The exhibition brings together around one hundred works, amongst them paintings and drawings by Monet, Sisley, Pissarro and Renoir, as well as books of colours, fabric swatches, Japanese prints, archive documents and a host of family photographs. The dynamic portrait that Claude Monet painted of his older brother in 1874, a vibrant illustration of the brothers’ deeply affectionate bond, is also presented for the very first time. The exhibition writes L\u00e9on Monet firmly into Claude’s biography and demonstrates the two brothers’ shared interest in colour.<\/p>\n
With exceptional support from Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay, Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet and Acad\u00e9mie des beaux-arts, Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
