Step by Step

The exhibition is held at the prestigious Petit Palais, located in the heart of Paris. Upon entering, you can browse through a selection of paintings by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, famous for his portraits, scenes of family morality and emotionally charged compositions. The curation mixes famous works with lesser-known pieces, allowing you to see Greuze's stylistic evolution, his recurring themes and the way he influenced later generations.

Each room of the tour has been designed to contextualise the work: explanatory texts, comparisons with contemporaries, visual resources on painting techniques and restoration, so that you not only see the paintings, but also understand how they were created, what materials were used and what messages they wanted to convey. The lights, spaces and room sequence help to highlight each work with the respect it deserves. You can get to know every detail in depth thanks to a downloadable audio guide on your mobile phone that will tell you the secrets of each work.

When you visit the Petit Palais, you can also enjoy the architectural atmosphere of the museum: decorated halls, skylights that provide natural light, classical details and interior gardens that invite you to take a contemplative pause before or after the exhibition. The museum itself is a jewel that complements a visit to the temporary exhibition.

    It was a sensitive walk through 18th century art centred on human emotion, very well done.

    I would repeat this exhibition in another city if it appears; Greuze deserves more recognition.

    Complementary programming (guided tours, educational material) adds value to the ticket (Petit Palais).

    The show made me want to revisit more of Greuze's complete oeuvre outside of this exhibition.
