Monet / Sécheret, Water landscapes

As part of its Unexpected Dialogues series, the Musée Marmottan Monet is hosting the exhibition Monet / Sécheret, Water landscapes from October 9th, 2025, to March 15th, 2026.

Jean-Baptiste Sécheret (born in 1957) is the tenth artist invited by the Musée Marmottan Monet to design an exhibition in dialogue with the works in the collection. A painter, he works in series and on the motif, painting the landscapes on which his gaze falls—monuments, buildings, factories, houses—before continuing his works in the studio.

For the Musée Marmottan Monet, he will present a set of paintings featuring the coastal landscapes and skies of Trouville, the famous Hôtel des Roches Noires which was one of the views from his apartment when he lived in that city. As for Monet, the Normandy landscapes are familiar spaces for Sécheret and will lead to a meeting with two paintings by the master of the house: Sur la plage de Trouville (1870) and Camille sur la plage (1870).
