Hotel Duquesne Eiffel – Blog

The first exhibition devoted to Edouard Manet (1832-1883) in over 30 years will open at Musée d’Orsay this spring.
« Manet, the Man who Invented Modern Art » will explore the historical situation around the 19th-century painter, including the reaffirmed legacy of Romanticism, the impact of his contemporaries and the changes in the media at the time.

The exhibition will also take another look at the many links that the painter resolutely created and rejected within both public and political spheres. For modernity was also a question of integration and of resistance. The exhibition will  focus on the teaching of Thomas Couture, Baudelaire’s support and encouragement, the reform of religious art, erotic imagery, the art of the fragment(ed), his relationship with women painters (Berthe Morisot, Eva Gonzalès), the temptations of high society, his decision to remain outside the main Impressionism movement and his complicity with Mallarmé at his darkest.

From March 25th to July 11th, take advantage of your stay at the Hotel Duquesne Eiffel to discover the French painting of the XIXth century.

Gustave Caillebotte is recognized for his talent as a painter and he’s considered as a mecenas by the Impressionists. He’s very close to his brother Martial, who is a composer, pianist and photographer. Their paintings and photos are reflecting really high sensibility for themes such as Views of Paris, Yatchs, Gardens and Bank.

Jacquemart-André Museum gives you what no museum had never offered : comparing Martial’s photos with Gustave’s Work.

For the first time, you’ll have a chance to discover more than 35 paintings and almost 150 photos that will make you feel the antic Parisian way of life and the city in the early twentieth century.

Located at only two steps from the Arc de Triomphe, this splendid museum gathers the best Parisian private Art collection.

Opened every day from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.
Every Monday night to 9.30 p.m.
158, boulevard Haussmann
75008, Paris
