Marie d’Orléans 1813–39

Through 21 July

Marie d’Orléans, princess and Romantic artist, epitomizes the ideals of the age in which she lived. Possessing a solid, open-minded education given by her father King Louis-Philippe, she developed a passionate interest in the arts and took up drawing and sculpture herself. Dying prematurely at the age of 26, she has left remarkable works such as a life-sized figure of Joan of Arc and her final work, an angel in white marble, as a testament to her inspired genius which has been compared to Canova.
