Exhibition: Masterpieces from the Borghese Gallery
For its first exhibition after more than one year of renovation work, the Musée Jacquemart-André will present around forty masterpieces from Rome’s famous Borghese Gallery. This exceptional partnership between the two institutions will give the public a unique opportunity to admire in Paris an ensemble of major works by famous artists from the Renaissance and Baroque periods rarely loaned outside Italy, from Caravaggio to Rubens, along with works by Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Veronese, Antonello da Messina, and Bernini.
Thanks to the partnership between the Musée Jacquemart-André and the Borghese Gallery—in the context of a campaign of renovation work on the museum in Rome in the autumn of 2024—, this exhibition will present a selection of exceptional works from this art collection, which is unique in the world. The public will, in particular, be able to (re)discover works by the masters of Italian art from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Raphael, Antonello da Messina, Parmesan, Lorenzo Lotto, Titian, Veronese, Caravaggio, Bernini, etc.) and Nordic painters who stayed in Italy (Rubens, Gerrit van Honthorst, etc.). The exhibition will also pay tribute to painters with whom the general public are less familiar, such as Annibale Carracci, Guido Reni, Cavaliere D’Arpino, and Jacopo Bassano. The presentation of the works in the exhibition will shed light both on the history of the collection and the meaning of the major themes explored by the artists. The exhibition will be complemented by a catalogue, a reference work in French about the collection of ‘modern’ paintings in the Borghese Gallery. The Musée Jacquemart-André endeavours to highlight collectors who have left their mark on the history of art, like the couple Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart.
From September 6, 2024 to January 5, 2025
