The Schorr Collection: of old master and nineteenth-century paintings
By
Abstract
The private Schorr collection which consists of 400 paintings was inherited by David J. Lewis which he named after his wife Hannah's family and put under the administration of his son, Howard. The collection is one of the largest of its kind of recent formation in the UK. The Lewis family started off collecting 19th century impressionist artists like Pissarro and Sisley, but then switched to old masters going back to the mid 15th century. Stylistically, within this exhibition a number of periods and tastes can be identified with an emphasis on 17th century French art, representing painters such as Sebastian Bourdon, Gaspard Dughet (the brother of Poussin's wife), Simon Vouet, Pierre Mignard and Phillipe de Champaigne.
