Toulouse-Lautrec at the Grand Palais
While the work of Toulouse-Lautrec is widely associated with the Moulin Rouge and the Montmartre underworld, the Grand Palais invites us to explore other aspects such as his desire, encouraged by his passion for photography, to represent time and ‘freeze the moment’, his interpretation of human nature and his approach to the subject of mortality. This outstanding exhibition is produced in collaboration with the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée de l’Orangerie, with the exceptional support of the City of Albi and the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec.

El Greco at the Grand Palais
This is the first major exhibition in France ever to be dedicated to Domenico Theotokópoulos, better known as El Greco. Considered to be the last grand master of the Renaissance and the first great painter of the Golden Age, El Greco was rediscovered in the 19th century, and celebrated by the 20th-century avant-garde as the artist who linked Titian to the Fauvists.
