Paris Observed, Paris Imagined: The Drawings of Gabriel de Saint-Aubin
Sacerdote Lecture Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesSacerdote Lecture Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (1724–1780) was a prolific and unconventional draftsman whose imagery offers an unparalleled view of life in eighteenth-century Paris. With subjects that range from the elevated to the mundane, his work brims with wit and humanity but eludes easy categorization. Three talks will explore some of the topics and questions raised by the soon-to-close exhibition Paris through the Eyes of Saint-Aubin, on view at The Met through February 4, 2025.
