Elizabeth Peyton, artist in residence at the Louvre since May 2024 and holder of a studio within the museum, invited a dozen students from the Beaux-Arts de Paris to come and copy Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished masterpiece, Saint Anne, with her in the museum's galleries.
In dialogue with the Copistes exhibition in which the artist is participating, and as part of the Louvre's partnership with Beaux-Arts de Paris, the presentation of the students' and Elizabeth Peyton's drawings brings together the different perspectives on the work and the gestures of repetition, revealing the contemporary meaning of an intense and creative conversation with the art of the past, alive in the present.
With Beaux-Arts de Paris students:
Shelim Alvarado, Julia Aknin, Elvire Cheviron, Céleste Desplanche, Princesse Diakumpuna, Pierre Dumaire, Yann Fonseca, Louise Glévéau Guerreiro, Tal Imber, Abigaël Margoto, Charlotte Menut, Léon Nullans, Joris Papin, Marthe Pradalié de Maupeou, Annael Shavit.
In partnership with Musée du Louvre and Centre Pompidou-Metz
