Jean-Joseph Perraud

This bust was in the Institut de France in the late 1880s; we do not know whether it is still there. The image has been scanned from Adolphe Jullien, Hector Berlioz, sa vie et ses œuvres (Paris, 1888), in our own collection.

This bronze bust dates from 1985 and is from the Vredenburg concert hall in Utrecht. It is 39cm high. The hall closed in summer of 2007 for a thorough renovation which could last a few years. The above photo was taken by our friend Pepijn van Doesburg shortly before the hall closed. We are most grateful to Pepijn for sending us a copy of the photo.
