Product Information

Excerpt from Les Arts: Revue Mensuelle des Musees, Collections, Expositions Un collectionneur amoureux de sa galerie au point de faire construire, pour elle plus que pour lui, un hotel somptueux ou tout est combine, ordonne, pour la mettre pleinement en valeur, ou elle regne en maitresse, emplissant les salles du rayonnement de cent chefs-d' uvre, peintures italiennes, flamandes, hollandaises, francaises, anglaises, formant, avec un choix plus restreint, mais n moins exquis, de sculptures, de vitraux, de meubles, de tapisseries, un ensemble des plus harmonieux: tel est l'exemple de haut gout que donnait recemment un des premiers amateurs de Paris, M. Rodolphe Kann, et que la Societe des Arts graphiques de Vienne, de sa propre initiative, jugeait digne d'etre celebre par une publication des plus luxueuses, a la hauteur de cette belle collection. La galerie Rodolphe Kann meritait cet hommage et cette consecration: quoique de formation assez recente, elle compte deja parmi les plus importantes et les plus belles collections privees de tableaux anciens, et elle est sans doute la plus remarquable qui existe en France. Un choix scrupuleux. portant n seulement sur la valeur d'art, mais encore sur les qualites de conservation des uvres, a preside a la reunion de cette centaine de toiles dont aucune n'est insignifiante, et dont la plupart sont des chefs-d' uvre que bien des galeries publiques envieraient. Penetrons d'abord dans la salle consacree aux plus anciens maitres de la collection: les Primitifs italiens et flamands. C'est un delicieux sanctuaire, plein d'intimite et de recueillement, comme il en fallait un pour abriter ces uvres delicates et en faire mieux savourer le parfum subtil. Un grand et beau vitrail dela Renaissance italienne, execute d'apres les cartons de Lorenzo di Credi et representant L'Annciation, l'eclaire doucement; aux murs sont encastrees des fresques palies de Luini, retracant, en de gracieux paysages, des scenes legendaires ayant trait a l'histoire de Venise; un medaillon en faience d'un des della Robbia, La Vierge adorant l'Enfant Jesus, et un bas-relief venitien pittoresquement compose, Saint Georges tuant le dragon, surmontent une belle cheminee provenant aussi d'un palais de Venise; ca et la, enfin, encore d'autres sculptures de la Renaissance italienne, parmi lesquelles un charmant buste d'enfant par Desiderio da Seuigna.
