For all our fans of French Academic art, this is one not to be missed -- that is if you happen to be in Paris between May 10 and September 15. Charles Gleyre is considered one of the most important 19th century Academic artists and among his students were Jean-Léon Gérôme, Claude Monet and Fréderic Bazille.
