Pierre-Jean Mariette and The Art of Collecting Drawings
THE MORGAN PRESENTS THE FIRST-EVER U.S. EXHIBITION ON THE GREAT 18th-CENTURY DRAWINGS COLLECTOR PIERRE-JEAN MARIETTE
Press release date
During his lifetime Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694–1774) assembled one of history’s finest and most renowned collections of drawings. He amassed over nine thousand sheets that were dispersed after his death, and today works from his collection are found in museums and private collections around the world, many of them still in Mariette’s distinctive blue mounts. Despite his importance as a collector and connoisseur, he has never before been the subject of an exhibition in the United States.
