Ce Paris dit " de 1900 ", tel qu'il est présent dans les collections du Petit Palais, couvre les années de 1880 à 1914. De cette période si riche, si complexe, si multiforme, cet ouvrage montre un large éventail de témoignages : un aperçu de la vie quotidienne grâce aux œuvres naturalistes, le rôle majeur joué par les femmes malgré un statut social inférieur, la révolte des symbolistes contre l'emprise du rationalisme, la place considérable accordée au cadre de vie et à son renouvellement, la rapide évolution esthétique de l'éclectisme finissant à la poésie de l'Art nouveau puis à la révolution de l'Art déco, le développement de la modernité picturale de Cézanne aux nabis. Cette présentation rend pleinement compte des aspects les plus passionnants de ce monde fantastique parisien de la Belle Epoque.

Because of her close association with the queen Vigée Le Brun was forced to flee France during the French Revolution. For twelve years she traveled throughout Europe, painting noble sitters in the courts of Naples, Russia, Austria, and Prussia. She returned to France in 1802, under the reign of Emperor Napoleon I...
