After those devoted to the Motais de Narbonne and to Louis-Antoine Prat, highly successful but showing works already exhibited elsewhere (including the Louvre), a completely new collection is being presented today. Antoine B\u00e9al, highly regarded by all lovers of French painting, is not, however, unknown. He has made a specialty of buying works often with the idea of offering the painting to a museum, subject to usufruct. Without children, he can thus enrich public collections while enjoying the work until his passing, which one hopes will be as late as possible.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\n"}
