Nancy's Musee des Beaux Arts

As with other things in Nancy, we underestimated the Musee des Beaux Artes, thinking we might do it in a couple hours. How good could a provincial art museum be, anyway? We spent much of the day there, taking a lunch break between the fine regular collection and the extraordinary collection of Daum glass, which will be a separate post. Below, as usual, just some biggies and personal favorites, with many others relegated to the eventual out-takes. And, again, the whole museum is available for a digital tour at https://musee-des-beaux-arts.nancy.fr/en/visit/download-the-application.

Tintoretto, Deposition, 1580

Vasari, Saint Trinity, 1558

Lucas of Leiden, Passion, 1533

Martinus Roejmerswalen, The Money Counters, end of 16th;
popular genre piece; love those hats

Jan Breughel, the Younger, Don't Touch Me (JC with Mary Magdalen),
1625; seriously; the title in French is Ne me touche pas

Caravaggio, Annunciation, 1610; note angel derriere

Pierre-Paul Rubens, Transfiguration, 1605; same huge size and
composition as the version that is a center-piece in the Vatican Museum

Georges de la Tour, The Woman and the Flea, 1638;
pet flea?

Claude Gellee, called Lorrain, Pastoral Scene, 1635; everywhere
else he's Claude Gellee or even Claude Lorrain; but here in
Lorrain, he's The Lorrain; pretty much his entire career in Italy

The Lorrain, Battle Scene near a Fortress, 1638

Ribera, Baptism of Christ, 1643; definitely not full
immersion

Luini, Circumcision, 1632; never miss a Luini; never
miss a Circumcision

Charles LeBrun, Virgin and Infant, 1650

Poussin, Entry of Christ into Jerusalem; due to the orange glow,
I can spot a Poussin at about 40 paces; I theorize he was beta carotene
deficient; should have eaten more carrots; also almost his whole career
in Italy

Fragonard, Apotheosis of Saint Louis, 1758; didn't see
a Watteau; alas...

A pair of Art Nouveau (frames), Victor Prouve, Joy of Life, 1904

And his L'isle heureuse, 1902

Delacroix, The Battle of Nancy, 1833 (Lorrain won, the Duke of

Burgundy getting skewered as above)

Gerard, Portrait of a Young Woman and Boa, 1810

Gustav Dore, Sortie from Sebastopol, 1855; personally, I think Dore
is the most underrated painter of the mid-19th

Courbet, Portrait of Zelie Courbet (his sister), 1853

Auguste Feyen-Perrin, Barque of the Caron, 1860s; hey, it worked
for Gericault 

In addition to fantasy illustrations and large format 
group portraits (the Orsay has two or three), Dore also
did landscapes, here, his Mountain Landscape, 1870

Monet, Sunset at Etretat, 1883

Emile Friant, Les Amoureux, 1888

Roualt, Pierrotins, 1932

Manet, L'Automne, 1882

Modigliani, Blonde Woman, 1918

And just because I never got a decent picture of the
statue on Place Stanislaus, here is Rene-Michel Slotz' 
bust of Stanislaus, 1740
