With the presentation of selected works from the Villa Langmatt collection, the Belvedere is showing one of the earliest and at the same time most extensive private collections of French Impressionism in Switzerland. The Art Nouveau Villa Langmatt was not only the residence of Jenny and Sidney Brown, but also a place of private passion for art. From around 1907, the Brown couple intensified their collecting activities with a focus on French art, beginning with the acquisition of an oil painting by Paul Gauguin, a painting by Claude Monet and several pictures by Paul Cézanne, from whom a larger group of works was collected in the following years. The Browns are particularly interested in the artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who is represented in the collection with an extensive group of paintings. The special quality of the collection is also reflected in the group of outstanding works by Camille Corot. Over many years, Jenny and Sidney Brown systematically acquired a collection of French Impressionist art and its predecessors that, while reflecting their personal taste, was representative in its breadth.
