With twelve thousand drawings and fifty thousand prints, the graphic arts collection of the Orléans museums is one of the best-endowed in France. Its history is intertwined with that of the passion of a few visionary men – Desfriches, Bizemont, Marcille, Fourché – who were keen to preserve the most fragile, but also the most significant, traces of the first of all arts. A dazzling projection of an idea, a sometimes hesitant search, or the diligent refinement of a project, drawing presides over all forms of artistic expression.
After hosting the museums of Montauban, Angers and Besançon, the Musée du Domaine Départemental de Sceaux welcomes the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans to exhibit an anthology of nearly two hundred sheets created between the end of the 16th century and the first half of the 20th. In the diversity of techniques and manners, the permanence of a quest of which Vouet, Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, David, Géricault, Ingres and Picasso were, among many others, the heroes is powerfully revealed.
