McMaster’s Monet in Vienna

October 27, 2014

McMaster’s prized Claude Monet painting, Waterloo Bridge Effet de Soleil, 1903 is now on view in Vienna in the Orangery of the Belvedere Palace and Museum, which was the Baroque summer palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy. The exhibition, Looking at Monet: Claude Monet and his influence on Austrian Landscape Painting runs October 23, 2104 – February 8, 2015. It presents a group of Monet’s Waterloo Bridge paintings (McMaster’s, as well as others from Kunsthaus Zurich and Hamburger Kunstalle), each showing a different effect of light and atmosphere to exemplify the richness that Monet’s series can offer.

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue and offers extensive new research on the art market, collecting and cultural exchange between Paris and Vienna.

We’re delighted to have McMaster’s masterpiece included in this important exhibition at this prestigious institution.

In addition to this loan, McMaster’s has several other major loans underway at this time:

Our paintings by Paul Klee, Raoul Dufy, and Emile-Othon Friesz are part of the German Expressionism and France exhibition, presented at Los Angeles County Art Museum earlier this year and now at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Our paintings by Emile Bernard and Vincent van Gogh will be part of the upcoming Art Gallery of Hamilton exhibition, The World is an Apple: Still Lifes of Paul Cezanne.
