From September 16, 2025 to January 25, 2026, the paintings of Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) will be exhibited at the Petit Palais in Paris to mark the 300th anniversary of the artist's birth. The exhibition "Greuze, Childhood in Light" will bring together works from French, English, Dutch, and American museums to pay tribute to an artist celebrated in his time by the greatest collectors, critics, and thinkers such as Diderot, but now forgotten. A daring artist who opposed academicism, Greuze put his creativity at the service of a new social subject: the child.
