羅浮宮將提供觀眾一次機會了解北歐18世紀末杰出的代表丹麥畫家阿比加德•尼古萊•亞伯拉漢（Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard）的作品。這是一次巡回展出（巴黎、漢堡和哥本哈根），作品貫穿畫家整個藝術生涯.亞伯拉漢不僅是一位畫家，還是一位建筑師、和設計師。這是在歐洲首次舉辦他的繪畫展覽。羅浮宮共有40幅畫家的油畫和素描，另外還有一些他所設計的家具。雖然他生活在丹麥挪威專制君主國，但歐洲啟蒙時代和法國大革命深深影響了他的思想，他的繪畫秉承了傳統但又不失浪漫，遵循宗教又帶有批判的眼光。

  PARIS.- The Louvre offers the public a unique chance to discover the Danish artist, Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard, a leading exponent of Northern European art in the late 18th century. A traveling exhibition (Paris, Hamburg, Copenhagen) on the singular yet universal career of this painter, who was also an architect, draughtsman and decorator, has been mounted for the first time in Europe. The Louvre has brought together about 40 paintings and drawings, as well as a some of his furniture. Though he was a subject of the Dano-Norwegian absolute monarchy, his production was inspired by the political ideas then spreading across Europe, during the Age of Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Open to the spirit of his era, his paintings, classical in form but latently Romantic, also contained a glimmering of religious and social criticism.
