Summary:An exceptional exhibition dedicated to the designs of the Château de Versailles showcases the acquisitions made since 2000. A hundred works will be presented on this occasion, illustrating all the techniques: pastel, crayon, sanguine, three crayons, plume, watercolor, gouache. .., dating from the XVIIth to the XXth century. Riche more than three thousand pieces, the collection of the Cabinet des graphic arts of the castle of Versailles is however unknown. Started in the XIX century, as a support to a better knowledge of the palace and collections, it is written around three major axes: the representations of the castle; decorative, architectural or painting designs; the portrait and the allegory. The connoisseurs and lovers of Versailles know; amateurs and collectors, a little less; the general public, almost not, since the designs, due to their fragility, are not exposed in a permanent way, but only on the occasion of temporary exhibitions, Exhibition: Château de Versailles, Versailles, France (Spring 2021).
