After retrospectives dedicated to the Swedes Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn, and The Golden Age of Danish Painting, the Petit Palais pursues its exploration of Nordic artists. This new exhibition, organised with the Ateneum Art Museum of Helsinki, is dedicated to Albert Edelfelt, one of the stars of Finnish painting. Some 100 works retrace his career and illustrate how the artist greatly contributed to the recognition of a Finnish art in the late 19th century.

WRITTEN IN FRENCH

Established in Paris from 1874, Albert Edelfelt was considered "the most Parisian and most Finnish of the Parisians". The first Finnish artist to enter the French public collections, he became famous in the 1880s with his masterly Portrait of Louis Pasteur.

Through an exceptional ensemble, this first French monograph dedicated to Albert Edelfelt makes us discover his work, between history painting, scenes of modern life and pleinairism - a synthesis of realism and Impressionism - offering from his native land a striking and luminous image.

Exhition at the Petit Palais, Paris from 10 March to 10 July 2022.
