The Danish Collector: Delacroix to Gauguin, 2021 | Directed by David Bickerstaff, UK, 82 mins, English, Danish, Hebrew & English subtitles
For many years no-one was interested in the art of the Impressionists. Artists such as 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. Hansen amassed a remarkable collection, nowadays kept at his summer home, Ordrupgaard, on the outskirts of Copenhagen. This film tells his fascinating story and, with exclusive access to a sell-out exhibition at London’s Royal Academy, brings this extraordinary collection to the big screen in glorious high definition. 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 nineteenth-century French art ever collected.
