As is the case with the Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9, the Ordrupgaard Collection was assembled by two art lovers, the Danish couple Wilhelm (1868–1936) and Henny (1870–1951) Hansen. A businessman and art connoisseur, and an independent and visionary man, Wilhelm Hansen assembled in only two years (between 1916 and 1918) a collection—which was quite unique in Europe—of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works from the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A selection of more than forty works are being presented for the first time in Paris, at the Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9. The exhibition includes works that are relatively unknown in France, ranging from Corot to C\u00e9zanne and Matisse, the changing landscapes of Monet, Pissarro, and Sisley, and the tender portraits of Renoir, Morisot, and Gonzal\u00e8s.
