Fonsmark Anne - Birgitte - Gauguin And The Impressionists The Ordrupgaard Collection - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Masterpieces of nineteenth - century French painting from the Ordrupgaard Collection in Copenhagen are the subject of this splendid new publication. Drawn from the remarkable collection of the Danish insurance magnate and art lover Wilhelm Hansen these works represent the very best of French Impressionism. Having already built up an impressive collection of Scandinavian art at the beginning of the First World War Hansen had ambitious plans to extend his collection to encompass French art. A burst of acquisitions from 1916 to 1918, during which he took advice from the influential Parisian art critic Th odore Duret saw his collection grow to include works by Manet Monet Renoir C zanne Sisley Courbet Morisot Matisse Pissarro and - forming a particular highlight of the collection - a group of significant paintings by Paul Gauguin. With stunning reproductions of sixty works the authors explore the history of the collection and provide detailed analysis of the works themselves. The planned exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts from March to June 2020, will no longer take place.
