The Ingres Bourdelle museum in Montauban opened two new, original exhibitions on Saturday December 21, 2024.
The first invites the public to discover the work of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres around his famous painting The Vow of Louis XIII kept at Montauban Cathedral.
This presentation will bring together nearly 70 works (drawings, watercolors and paintings) including the most beautiful studies carried out by the Montalbanese artist for the preparation of his famous canvas.
These works surround the graceful little sketch for the Child Jesus painted by Ingres around 1821 and acquired on June 12 by pre-emption of the City of Montauban from Christie's with the support of the State.
The second, Jacqueline and Paul Duchein, presents works acquired by the Ingres Bourdelle museum during the sale of the Duchein couple's collection last September and representative of the tastes of this couple of passionate collectors. These will be brought together on a wall in the purest surrealist spirit dear to the heart of Paul Duchein.
These two cultural events can be discovered at the Montalban museum from December 21, 2024 to May 18, 2025.
