19TH CENTURY

​

​

In this section, the visitor will find important pieces of 19th century British art, which stands out in the Pérez Simón Collection for the large number and excellent quality of the works it brings together, and is currently considered the most important private collection of Victorian art outside the United Kingdom.

 

French art is also the protagonist of this section through two of its most emblematic references: the academic tradition and impressionist modernity. Here you can see pieces by great masters such as Vincent van Gogh, Monet, Renoir and Paul Cézanne, to name just a few.

 

In addition, there are exceptional works by Italian, Nordic and Central European artists from the same period.
