The Drawing Album of J. Beuchot

Start date: Friday, October 19, 2007
Event is ongoing: Until Saturday, December 8, 2007

Jean-Baptiste Beuchot (1821-1884) was a man of many talents; painter, art restorer, draughtsman, and decorator. Beaux Arts announces the largest collection of his drawings and paintings ever available to the public. The exhibit features more than 90 original drawings, watercolors, and gouaches, each one beautifully rendered and exquisitely detailed. The delicate genre scenes and decorative embellishments evoke aristocratic elegance, making them exemplars of the Rococo Revival style popular in the mid-nineteeth century. Each unique piece is wonderfully conserved and sumptuously presented in hand-finished gilt frames as only Beaux Arts can. October 19th through December 8th at Beaux Arts. Open Monday through Friday 9-6 and Saturday 12-5.
