Join us as we explore the life and enduring legacy of Georges Clairin (1843–1919), an artist whose pursuit of "the essential character of things" continues to inspire. A master of the French Academic style, Clairin is best remembered as the lifelong friend and preferred portraitist of the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt.

Beyond the stage, Clairin was a daring Orientalist painter, traveling through Morocco, Egypt, and Spain to capture vibrant, light-filled landscapes and historical dramas. His work is a celebration of movement and theatricality, whether he was painting the ceiling of the Opéra Garnier or the intimate, velvet-draped world of the Parisian elite.
