Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The acquisitions of the Musée national des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon on the French art market (1940-1944): Initial assessment and research perspectives Thanks to special financial credits offered to French national museums during the Occupation, the Musée National des Châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon collections became enriched, particularly between 1942 and 1943. The museum is currently conducting research on the provenance of these acquisitions purchased in Paris at public auctions at Drouot and by private negotiations, known in French as "de gré à gré". Our investigation is particularly focused on the art market actors whom the museum worked with during the Second World War. This study details the sources we used for this research and analyses the main origins of the acquisitions made by the chief curator Charles Mauricheau-Beaupré and his collaborators for a total amount of more than 3 000 000 francs, a budget significantly higher than those for previous years. They bought mainly engravings and many frames for the museum’s portrait painting collection. Some exceptional pieces of furniture, as for example the famous "Mobilier aux épis" of Marie-Antoinette’s bedroom at the Petit Trianon, were also purchased in 1942. The acquisitions show the vitality of the Parisian art market at the time, which offered a substantial number of works of art for sale. In the now well-known context of spoliations from Jewish families, this research is still ongoing and requires utmost vigilance. |
