Seasonal exhibition: Portrait of Maria Barbola
From 4 Nov 2025 to 31 Mar 2026
Free
In the seasonal exhibition hall, this fall's display is dedicated to Maria Bárbola, a dwarf in the court of Philip IV, one of the characters in Diego Velázquez's painting Las Meninas. The oil on canvas on display (1539X1085) belongs to the former Angladon-Dubrujeaud collection. It is a 19th-century copy based on Velázquez (Seville 1599-Madrid 1660).
The word “menino,” of Portuguese origin, referred in Spain to a young page, usually from a noble family, who entered the service of the king, princes, and great lords to perform simple tasks in palatine ceremonies. The “meninas” were ladies-in-waiting to the princesses and the queen. The presence of dwarfs among the servants was very common during the reign of Philip IV. Richly dressed, they often became their masters' confidants, and sometimes their accomplices, which allowed them to obtain quite exceptional favors and enjoy great familiarity with the ladies and lords of the court.

Madeleine Lemaire exhibition, floral compositions in watercolor
From 21 March to 15 September 2026

Madeleine Lemaire (1845–1928), French painter, pastel artist, engraver, and illustrator, made her debut at the 1864 Salon. Her works, including portraits and floral compositions, are part of the Musée d'Orsay's collections.
During the Belle Époque, the artist held a musical and literary salon where writers, musicians, actors, and actresses gathered. Among others, Robert de Montesquiou and Marcel Proust frequented the salon.
Madeleine Lemaire illustrated Marcel Proust's collection Les Plaisirs et les Jours, published in 1896 by Calmann-Lévy, with her floral watercolors.
