The Oskar Reinhart Collection in Winterthur, Switzerland, is one of the most remarkable art museums of its kind, with a collection that ranges from superlative old master paintings and drawings to an exceptional group of Impressionist art.  

The works were assembled in the first half of the 20th century by Oskar Reinhart (1885-1965). Reinhart later opened the collection to the public in his beautiful villa on the outskirts of Zurich, called ‘Am Römerholz’, which, in 1958, became a museum of the Swiss confederation.   

For the first time in its history, a rich array of highlights from the Reinhart collection will be displayed outside Switzerland, making this exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery a unique opportunity to see some of its masterpieces.  

The exhibition will feature major paintings by artists of the generation preceding the Impressionists, such as Goya, Géricault and Courbet, but will focus especially on Reinhart’s extraordinary collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.
