Hidden Treasures: Impressionist and Modern Masterpieces from an Important Private Collection, is a remarkable group of Impressionist and Modern masterpieces that represents the very best and most innovative moments of this seminal epoch. Tracing the key artistic movements of the late 19th and 20th centuries, these works embody the defining characteristics of the art of the great masters of Modernism. From Monet’s exultant Saule pleureur et bassin aux nymphéas, a triumphant realisation of his lifelong quest to capture nature at its most ephemeral, to Cézanne’s Nature morte de pêches et poires, a work of such poetic majesty and restraint that it perfectly encapsulates his lifelong aims as an artist, these paintings date from many of the most important points of the artist’s careers. Assembled with a deep knowledge of art history and an innate eye for aesthetic excellence, this carefully curated collection has remained unseen in public for many decades.
