Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767-1824)

At a sale in Savoy, a rediscovered lost painting by Louis Lagrenée (1725-1805) rivaled a sumptuous lotus bowl from the Qianlong period.

Claude-François Julliot (1727-1794) probably commissioned these two pieces of furniture stamped Joseph, which were in the Comte de Merle’s collection. They are beautiful examples of the resurgence of copper and tortoiseshell "Boulle" marquetry early in the Louis XVI period.

For more than half a century, Anne and Patrick Poirier have been emblematic figures of international contemporary art. In Lourmarin, in the Luberon France, this inseparable duo prepares their future exhibitions in a workshop-laboratory that mirrors their work.

Creator of the Fondation des Treilles, Anne Gruner Schlumberger devoted her life to artists and built up a collection of works by Dubuffet, Arp, Ernst, Brauner, Picasso and Giacometti, among others. Some of her treasures are now on show in Toulouse.

Jacques-Louis David's famous painting, painted in 1788, has undergone an extensive restoration campaign that began in 2019. This has led to the discovery that the scientific instruments are a later addition by the artist's hand and that Madame Lavoisier was wearing a large hat.

No less than 181 lots are listed in the blue-ribbon sale catalog of the collection of Anne-Aymone and Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, president of France from 1974 to 1981. It is a portrait of a presidential couple’s artistic choices.

Fascinated by 18th century furniture and decorative arts, the presidential husband and wife assembled an important collection in their Paris residence in the 16th arrondissement. A selection.

Anne-Sophie Leclerc leads an institution where she has worked since 1982. The director of the Musée de Nemours, an hour from Paris, is getting ready to celebrate its 40th anniversary—an opportunity to rediscover its unique collections and Roland Simounet’s building.
