The Courtauld Gallery presents an exceptional selection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings in the first ever exhibition of the Oskar Reinhart Collection ‘Am Römerholz’ to be staged outside of Winterthur, Switzerland. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to see some of its masterpieces – including works by Goya, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso,and Cezanne among others.
The exhibition opens with a group of major paintings by artists who preceded the Impressionists, including Goya’s highly charged Still Life with Three Salmon Steaks (c.1808-12), Géricault’s moving A Man Suffering from Delusions of Military Rank (c.1819-22) and Courbet’s provocative The Hammock (1844).
At the heart of the exhibition are some of the greatest paintings of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, including Toulouse-Lautrec’s striking representation of the female performer The Clown Cha-U-Kao (1895), Manet’s groundbreaking depiction of modern life Au Café (1878), and a group of sensational works by Renoir and Cezanne. A further highlight is the pair of celebrated paintings by Van Gogh, A Ward in the Hospital at Arles and The Courtyard of the Hospital at Arles (1889), which illustrate the hospital where he had been a patient following his earlier mental breakdown and the mutilation of his ear, as seen in Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear in The Courtauld’s collection.
