History
The Gare d’Orsay railway station was designed by competition-winning architect Victor Laloux. Even on its completion, just in time for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, painter Edouard Detaille declared that the new station looked like a Palais des Beaux Arts. But although it had its own hotel and all the mod-cons of the day – including luggage lifts and passenger elevators – by 1939 the increasing electrification of the rail network meant the platforms were too short for mainline trains, and within a few years all rail services ceased.
The station was used as a mailing centre during WWII, and in 1962 Orson Welles filmed Kafka’s The Trial in the then-abandoned building. Fortunately, it was saved from being demolished and replaced with a hotel complex by a Historical Monument listing in 1973, before the government set about establishing the palatial museum.
Transforming the languishing building into the country’s premier showcase for art from 1848 to 1914 was the grand project of President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, who signed off on it in 1977. The museum opened its doors in 1986.
Far from resting on its laurels, major renovations at the Musée d’Orsay between 2008 and 2011 incorporated a re-energised layout and increased exhibition space. World-renowned paintings now gleam from richly coloured walls that create an intimate, stately-home-like atmosphere, with high-tech illumination literally casting the masterpieces in a new light.
Paintings
Most visitors make a beeline for the world’s largest collection of impressionist and postimpressionist art, the highlights of which include Manet’s On the Beach and Woman with Fans; Monet’s gardens at Giverny and Rue Montorgueil, Paris, Celebration of June 30, 1878; Cézanne’s card players, Green Apples and Blue Vase; Renoir’s Ball at the Moulin de la Galette and Young Girls at the Piano; Degas’ ballerinas; Toulouse-Lautrec’s cabaret dancers; Pissarro’s The Seine and the Louvre; Sisley’s View of the Canal St-Martin; and Van Gogh’s self-portraits, Bedroom in Arles and Starry Night over the Rhône. Less high-profile but classified a National Treasure is James Tissot’s 1868 painting The Circle of the Rue Royale.
Decorative & Graphic Arts
Household items such as hat and coat stands, candlesticks, desks, chairs, bookcases, vases, pot-plant holders, freestanding screens, wall mirrors, water pitchers, plates, goblets and bowls become works of art in the hands of their creators from the era, incorporating exquisite design elements.
Drawings, pastels and sketches from major artists are another of the d’Orsay’s lesser-known highlights. Look for Georges Seurat’s The Black Bow (1882), which uses crayon on paper to define forms by contrasting between black and white, and Paul Gauguin’s poignant self-portrait (1902–03), drawn near the end of his life.

历史
Gare d'Orsay火车站由竞争获胜的建筑师Victor Laloux设计。即使在1900年世界博览会即将到来之际,画家Edouard Detaille也宣称新电视台看起来像是Palais des Beaux Arts。但是,尽管它拥有自己的酒店和当时的所有模型 - 包括行李升降机和乘客电梯 - 到1939年,铁路网络的电气化程度越来越高意味着平台对于干线列车而言太短,并且在几年之内所有铁路服务停止。
该站在第二次世界大战期间被用作邮寄中心,1962年,奥森威尔斯在当时被遗弃的建筑物中拍摄了卡夫卡的“审判”。幸运的是,在政府着手建立富丽堂皇的博物馆之前,1973年一座历史纪念碑上市的酒店大楼被拆除,取而代之。
从1848年到1914年,这座萎靡不振的建筑成为该国首屈一指的艺术展示,是ValéryGiscardd'Estaing总统的宏伟项目,于1977年签署。该博物馆于1986年开业。
2008年至2011年期间,奥赛博物馆的重大改造不仅没有取得成功,还重新焕发了活力,并增加了展览空间。世界着名的画作现在从色彩丰富的墙壁上闪闪发光,营造出一种亲密,庄严的家居般的氛围,高科技的照明使这些杰作在新的面貌中熠熠生辉。
绘画
大多数游客直奔世界上最大的印象派和后印象派艺术品,其中的亮点包括马奈的海滩和粉丝女人;莫奈的Giverny和Rue Montorgueil的花园,巴黎,1878年六月三十日的庆祝活动; Cézanne的名片播放器,Green Apples和Blue Vase;雷诺阿的舞会在红磨坊和钢琴少女;德加的芭蕾舞演员;图卢兹 - 劳特累克的歌舞表演者;毕沙罗的塞纳河和卢浮宫;希思黎的圣马丁运河景观;和梵高的自画像,阿尔勒的卧室和罗纳河上的星夜。詹姆斯·天梭(James Tissot)1868年的绘画“皇家街圈”(The Circle of the Royale)不那么备受瞩目但被归类为国宝。
装饰与图形艺术
帽子和衣帽架,烛台,书桌,椅子,书柜,花瓶,盆栽植物,独立式屏风,墙镜,水壶,盘子,高脚杯和碗等家居用品成为他们创作者手中的艺术品。时代,融合精美的设计元素。
来自主要艺术家的素描,粉彩和素描是奥赛的另一个鲜为人知的亮点。寻找Georges Seurat的The Black Bow(1882年),它用纸上的蜡笔通过对比黑色和白色来定义形式,以及保罗高更的凄美自画像(1902-03),画在他生命的尽头。
