Info on the catalogue:
The catalogue indicates that 4 representatives of the French government were involved and also of the Danish government. Several (French) art-dealers, art-collectors and artists were involved, including Monet and Renoir.
The preface was written by Karl Madsen. He refers to an earlier exhibition in 1888, which presented a random collection. This exposition aims a rich, varied and representative selection of works by leading artists (just like the Saint-Petersburg exposition of 1912). David, Ingres and Géricault are explicitly mentioned. Summed up are Delacroix, Corot, Millet, Rousseau, Daumier and Courbet. Also the “impressionists” are summed up: Manet, Berthe Morisot, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Claude Monet, Pissarro, Guillaumin, Gauguin and Cézanne. Summed up are remarkable works of Barye, Chassériau, Daubigny, Puvis de Chavannes, Fantin-Latour and Toulouse-Lautrec. He also mentions recent works of “Futuristes” and “Synchromistes”.
Among the collectors the relatives of Henri Rouart are explicitly mentioned.
The catalogue is divided in paintings (nos 1-216) and drawings, pastels and aquarelles (nos. 217-356).
The catalogue renders 23 prints, including one of Monet, Renoir and Sisley.
