Zurbarán Comes to the Louvre: The Bound Lamb and a Painter of Silence
Paris has its Zurbarán. Since 7 October the Louvre has been showing Zurbarán (1598–1664) in the Hall Napoléon, a major exhibition of the Spanish Golden Age painter organised with the National Gallery in London and the Art Institute of Chicago. After its summer run in London, the show is in Paris until 25 January 2027, and then moves to Chicago.
