Founded in 2008, the Gallery Pierre Brost specializes in antique paintings and drawings, with a particular focus on 18th-century French portraits.

For more than fifteen years, the gallery has been quietly and behind the scenes conducting research and rediscovering forgotten or misattributed works, which has enabled it to bring several works back into the spotlight—works now recognized by experts and institutions.

Among them are a pastel portrait by François Boucher, another by Jean Valade, an important modello by Baron Gérard, and a preparatory drawing by Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié for his self-portrait presented at the 1777 Salon.

His work, combined with the gallery’s annual exhibitions, has led to several acquisitions by prestigious institutions and private collections, both in France and abroad.

Thus, the Gallery Pierre Brost has had the honor of contributing to the enrichment of the collections of institutions such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the Petit Palais, the Museum of the Palace of Versailles, the National Maritime Museum, the Château de Chenonceau, the National Library of France (BNF)… and several regional museums such as those in Rouen, Grenoble, Mâcon, Cholet, Saint-Malo…
