2. Madame X (1884), borrowed from the Met, returns to Paris for the first time since the scandalous 1884 Salon exhibition.

4. Immerse yourself in the cosmopolitan Paris of the Third Republic: portraits of aristocrats, patrons, and artists who shaped a society in transformation.
5. Centennial of the artist's death: tribute to the "heir to Velázquez" whose virtuosity rivals the greatest masters.
