The Courtauld Cezannes Exhibition at Somerset House
21/08/08
This ‘collection of collections', encompassing some of art's most iconic images, from Cranach's Adam and Eve to van Gogh's Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear has been housed at Somerset House since 1990.
Available for an exclusive number of events each year, the Courtauld Gallery offers an astonishing opportunity for guests to be entertained while surrounded by the works of Old Masters such as Botticelli and Rubens or masterpieces by Cézanne, Degas and Monet.
The Courtauld Cezannes exhibition will be on display until 5 October 2008 and can be combined with an evening event with either a guided tour or private view. The Courtauld Gallery holds the most important group of works by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) in Britain. This exhibition presents the entire collection for the first time with major paintings such as the iconic Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1887)and Card Players (1892-5) shown alongside rarely seen drawings and watercolours.
