Long in the shadow of painting, the drawings of the masters are now the subject of a passionate quest by amateurs. In just a few decades, a few European collectors have been able to assemble ex nihilo, alongside museum drawing cabinets, impressive sets of studies and sketches that today appear as the quintessence of artistic thought. The drawings of Georges Pébereau are among these young collections that have nothing to envy their elders. Full of superb examples of drawing from the 16th to the 20th century, his collection allows us to discover remarkable French and foreign graphic creations, notably Germanic, British, Danish and Italian. Poussin rubs shoulders with Watteau, Ingres with Cézanne, Eckersberg with Overbeck, Van Gogh with Klimt and Schiele. The Louvre Museum's presentation pays tribute to the exceptional donation of drawings by Costa, Castiglione, Honthorst, Brebiette, Vouet, Tiepolo, Boilly, and Victor Hugo that the collector made to the Louvre Museum's Department of Graphic Arts. An invitation to revisit the European drawing scene spanning more than four centuries.
