Paris through the Eyes of Saint-Aubin

Published on September 25, 2024

Gabriel de Saint-Aubin was a prolific and unconventional draftsman. As an observer and chronicler, he recorded the full spectrum of Paisian daily life in his sketchbooks, from shop interiors to art auctions and public gardens to rowdy street fairs.

Marking the 300th anniversary of his birth, the exhibition features drawings and prints, drawn from The Met’s holdings and local private collections, are complemented by a selection of works by his family and contemporaries, offering a context for his career and highlighting the unique nature of his vision.

The exhibition runs from September 26, 2024 - February 4, 2025 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 5th Ave NY NY 10028.
