FRENCH CONNECTION


Author and eminent art historian Aimée Brown Price is offering a private tour for eight of the 19th Century European Galleries at the MET.  These galleries include the paintings of influential French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, co-founder of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and subject of Dr. Price's most recent book.  Price, an authority on Puvis de Chavannes as well as other nineteenth-century artists, received her Ph.D. from Yale University and has lectured nationally and internationally at Oxford, Cambridge, and Princeton; the National Gallery of Art, London; the Power Institute, Sydney; and the Institut d'art et d'archéologie, Paris.  


Only those who bid can receive an exclusive private lesson from Aimée Brown Price amidst the halls of the MET.  C'est si bon!


Package also includes a signed copy of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Volumes 1 & 2: The Artist and His Art and A Catalogue Raisonne of the Painted Work (Yale University Press, 2009)
