J'ai énormément apprécié la correspondance entre les oeuvres de l'artiste Agnès Thurnauer et les nombreuses oeuvres exposées au musée Cognac-Jay. Le travail très intéressant de cette artiste m'a plus particulièrement permis de découvrir les femmes artistes du 18e siècle mais plus encore les femmes scientifiques!

About: Musée Cognacq-Jay

Musée Cognacq-Jay is a museum packed with 18th-century art and wonders in a classic French Renaissance mansion, located in the Marais District in Paris. The museum's collection was brought together by Ernest Cognacq and his wife Marie-Louise Jay between 1900 and 1925. This VIP couple had quite an influence on Paris, as they also founded the department store La Samaritaine, though they invested the majority of their fortune in French 18th-century works of art.
