Masterpieces from the Louvre: The Collection of Louis La Caze
Exhibition at the Wallace Collection
From Thursday 14th February 2008 to Thursday 8th May 2008
This exhibition is the first collaboration between the Wallace Collection and the Musée du Louvre, and will contain one of the masterpieces of seventeenth-century Spanish painting, Ribera’s Le Pied-Bot (The Boy with the Club Foot) of 1642, which will make a fascinating comparison with the Spanish paintings in the Wallace Collection by Velázquez, Murillo and Alonso Cano. Also there will be a splendid array of eighteenth-century French paintings (La Caze’s favourite school) by, among others, Watteau, Pater, Lancret, Rigaud, Chardin, Nattier, Boucher and Fragonard. These too have been carefully chosen to complement the outstanding collection of eighteenth-century French paintings in the Wallace Collection.
