Eva Gonzalès. A Free-Spirited Artist

Discover the subtle work of painter Eva Gonzalès, a contemporary of the Impressionists, at the Petit Palais

The Petit Palais is hosting the first retrospective dedicated to Eva Gonzalès (1847–1883), a talented but little-known painter who was a contemporary of the Impressionists. As Edouard Manet’s only student, she is often associated with 19th-century women artists such as Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt. The exhibition “Eva Gonzalès. A Free-Spirited Artist” traces her career through a selection of 100 paintings, pastels, and engravings, highlighting a style marked by sensitivity and subtlety, gracefully depicting female figures, intimate scenes, and Normandy landscapes. On view from 15 September to 24 January 2027.
