The agreement also stipulated that a significant selection of these works would be installed in the museum’s ground-floor galleries, previously devoted to twentieth-century art. This catalogue documents the new display, whose aim is to highlight the collection’s continuity and coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central focus of the Carmen Thyssen Collection is the evolution of landscape painting over the course of four centuries. The journey begins (Gallery A) with a masterpiece by Jan Brueghel, \u003cem\u003eThe Garden of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e, and a dialogue, presented on opposing walls, between seventeenth-century Dutch rural genre painting and the Italian urban veduta, represented by its pioneer Gaspar van Wittel and the great Venetian masters Canaletto and Guardi. The itinerary then follows the parallel development of landscape painting in Europe and North America throughout the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGallery B explores American landscape painting between Romanticism and Naturalism. European Realism (Gallery C) is superbly represented by masterpieces such as Corot’s \u003cem\u003eSolitude\u003c\/em\u003e and Van Gogh’s \u003cem\u003eWatermill at Gennep\u003c\/em\u003e, alongside works by other contemporary French and Dutch artists. Gallery D, devoted to French Impressionism, is one of the highlights of the visit, featuring key works by Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley. By contrast, Gallery E presents Monet’s late work alongside that of his American Impressionist followers. A spacious area (Gallery F) is dedicated to Gauguin—centred on his most iconic work, \u003cem\u003eMata Mua\u003c\/em\u003e—as well as to his collaborators and followers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGallery G examines Neo-Impressionism and its role in the development of abstraction, focusing on an important painting by Kandinsky. Gallery H offers an overview of the early avant-garde movements, concentrating on the dialogue between French Fauvism and German Expressionism, with major figures including Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Delaunay, Kirchner, Nolde and Goncharova.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tour concludes (Galleries I and J) with a varied selection of important avant-garde artists—among them Léger, Juan Gris, Picabia and Delvaux—and a special focus on twentieth-century American artists, including Georgia O’Keeffe, Reginald Marsh and Richard Estes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection on display provides an ideal complement to the galleries dedicated to the museum’s permanent collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish edition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"tienda-museothyssen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55607815733624,"sku":"PP00295","price":33.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/4221\/6345\/files\/CATALOGO_CARMEN_THYSSEN_INGLES_TO_97c77bf6-5f5b-40f9-9550-263380dabf2d.jpg?v=1784878393","url":"https:\/\/tienda.museothyssen.org\/en\/products\/carmen-thyssen-collection-museo-nacional-thyssen-bornemisza","provider":"tienda-museothyssen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
