110 Master Drawings from Prat Collection on View at Museo Correr
The Museo Correr in Venice is hosting 110 exceptional drawings from the private collection of Louis-Antoine and Véronique Prat, one of France's most important collections of works on paper. Spanning three centuries from the 17th to the 19th century, the exhibition traces the evolution of French graphic art through masters such as Poussin, Callot, Ingres, Seurat, and Cézanne. Curated by Pierre Rosenberg, former director of the Louvre, the show is a collaboration between the Correr and the Fondation Bemberg in Toulouse, where it will travel after its Venetian run. The exhibition is supported by Alliance Française-Venezia. The catalog, published by Magonza, includes contributions from Gabriella Belli, Philippe Cros, and the Prat couple. This event follows the museum's previous success with "La poesia della Luce" (2014-2015), reaffirming the institution's commitment to showcasing historical works on paper.
