Landscapes in the Simonow collection


Book Description

"Michael Simonow a constitué, en quarante ans, une collection de chefs-d'oeuvre des plus grands maîtres : Rubens, Renoir, Monet... Séduit par la beauté de l'ab-baye cistercienne de Flaran, il a confié sa prestigieuse collection, qui continue de s'enrichir au fil des années, au conseil général du Gers. Après un premier ouvrage consacré aux portraits, celui-ci met en lumière les paysages issus de cet ensemble, à travers plus d'une trentaine d'oeuvres qui offrent une vision transversale des grands mouvements artistiques européens, du XVIIe au XXe siècle. Une esquisse de Stefano della Bella, les atmosphères maritimes de John Constable, Eugène Boudin ou Léon Valtat, les paysages de l'école de Barbizon ou de l'école de Paris... Ces oeuvres majeures, et pourtant encore peu connues, sont une merveilleuse découverte, au coeur d'un des grands sites de la région Midi-Pyrénées."--P. [4] of cover.
