Exhibition on Screen: The Danish Collector

For many years, no-one was interested in the art of the Impressionists. Artists like Monet, Degas, and Renoir were vilified, attacked, and left penniless as a result. Then something remarkable happened.

A new breed of collectors emerged, and before long, they were battling to acquire any work by these new radical artists that they could find. Amongst them was the visionary Danish businessman Wilhelm Hansen.

From Hansen’s beautiful house and gardens at Ordrupgaard to the streets of bohemian Paris, this film takes you on a journey to discover some of the best examples of 19th-century French art ever collected.
