Dr Anna Ferrari, curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, discusses the recent exhibition ‘Gauguin and the Impressionists: ‘Masterpieces from the Ordrupgaard Collection’.

Anna will present the collection, which was assembled by Danish insurance magnate Wilhelm Hansen and his wife Henny in the early twentieth century. It is a treasure trove of Impressionist works, from Monet, Pissarro and Degas, to pre-Impressionist artists like Corot and Courbet, as well as artists associated with the Barbizon School and a stunning series of works by Paul Gauguin.
