abstract:Charles Auguste Émile Durand, known as Carolus-Duran (4 July 1837 – 17 February 1917), was a French painter and art instructor. He is noted for his stylish depictions of members of high society in Third Republic France.
The exhibition begins indoors, with portraits that were a shock because they captured women in the privacy of their homes, lost in reverie (Monet's "Madame Louis Joachim Gaudibert, " 1868) or engaged in quotidian rituals like removing a glove (Charles Carolus-Duran's "The Lady With the Glove, " 1869).
