In his famous The Meeting ("Bonjour Monsieur Courbet!"), Courbet depicts an encounter with Alfred Bruyas (1821-1877), his patron. With tastes ranging from romanticism to realism, Bruyas collected both traditional and what was then avant-garde art. Featuring works by artists including Courbet, Cabanel, Delacroix, Ingres and Millet, this catalogue and study examines Bruyas' role as one of the foremost collectors of contemporary art in France and the significance of his patronage of living artists.
