Curator's introduction | Boilly: Scenes of Parisian Life | National Gallery

Join Francesca Whitlum-Cooper, the Myojin-Nadar Associate Curator of Paintings 1600-1800 and curator of 'Boilly: Scenes from Parisian Life', to find out more about the exhibition.

'Boilly: Scenes of Parisian Life'
28 February – 19 May 2019
Explore revolutionary Paris through Boilly’s daring and playful paintings

Working in a politically turbulent Paris, Louis-Léopold Boilly witnessed the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, and the Restoration of the French Monarchy.

From controversially seductive interior scenes, which saw him get into trouble with the authorities, to ‘first-of-their-kind’ everyday street scenes and clever trompe l’oeils, this exhibition shows Boilly’s daring responses to the changing political environment and art market he encountered, and highlights his sharp powers of observation and wry sense of humour.
