The show now showing at the Institut Néerlandais is the collection of Frits Lugt (1884-1970), the founder/instigator of one of our favorite art sites in Paris (especially since the SEITA Museum closed) which started the whole venture off.
It features works by Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, David, Prud’hon, Corot, Delacroix, Ingres and Degas and is quite impressive. During the time he (actually they, the wife Jacoba who had all the dough, gets scant credit) collected (1925-1956) he got some fine show-pieces.
A definite 3 WOWS!
