Eva Gonzalès: A Free-Spirited Artist

The Petit Palais presents Eva Gonzalès: A Free-Spirited Artist from September 15, 2026, to January 24, 2027, with the first major retrospective devoted to the French painter Eva Gonzalès.

A contemporary of Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, Gonzalès was the only formal pupil of Édouard Manet, yet her work has never previously been the subject of a major retrospective in France or internationally. The exhibition brings together almost 100 paintings, pastels and prints, tracing the development of an artist who established her own voice within the Parisian art world of the late 19th century.

Organized in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where the exhibition will travel in February 2027, the retrospective also benefits from the support of the Musée d’Orsay.
