Thanks to a participatory patronage operation, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes acquired in 2017 a significant collection of more than 250 drawings by Armand Félix Jobbé-Duval. This collection of figure and drapery studies covers almost all of the painter's major public decoration commissions, and will be the subject of a major publication by the museum at the end of 2018. The work, whose publication will be accompanied by rotating exhibitions of the drawings and several events throughout 2018, will be the first monograph devoted to this artist-politician active during the Second Empire and the first part of the Third Republic. Originally from Brittany, Armand Félix Jobbé Duval's career took off primarily in Paris. A student of Paul Delaroche and Charles Gleyre at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he made his debut at the Salon in the 1840s. He subsequently received numerous commissions for Parisian churches (Saint-Séverin, Saint-Sulpice, la Trinité, Saint-Gervais, Saint-Protais) and public buildings such as the Commercial Court of Paris, the Hôtel de Ville in Lyon, and the Parliament of Brittany in Rennes.
