Out of sight, but not out of mind: In 2025, exactly 230 years after his birth, the Dordrechts Museum organized a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the Dordrecht-born painter Ary Scheffer. The museum houses the largest collection of his work in the world. Scheffer left Dordrecht at the young age of 16 to train as an artist in Paris. There, he grew into an absolute superstar of French Romanticism and French society life. His studio can still be visited today, as it is now home to the Musée de la Vie Romantique.
To enjoy this ‘Dordts’ pride at home as well, an elegant assortment of merchandise was developed especially for this exhibition, ranging from pouches, mirrors, and wrist warmers to scarves, wraps... and a box of colored pencils.
