A leading figure in French figurative painting, Guillaume Bresson depicts characters captured in the violence of suburban areas, with references to history painting.

The first retrospective exhibition of Bresson’s work at the Palace of Versailles confronts his work with the great battle scenes of the rooms of Africa, painted in particular by Horace Vernet.

They invite visitors to question the notion of staging violence in painting.
