"This will be a virtual who´s who of 19th- and early 20th-century French art," said Peter C. Marzio, director of the MFAH. "The exhibition will be a spectacular opportunity for the public of this region to enjoy this unrivaled collection of French paintings. The key phrase here is high quality. It doesn´t get any better than this. It´s a stellar exhibition.

Among the most outstanding paintings are Manet´s Boating (1874)
