A Taste for Impressionism | Modern French Art from Millet to Matisse

The remarkable story of how Scotland became home to one of the world’s greatest collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art is explored in this film to accompany our big summer 2022 exhibition, A Taste for Impressionism | Modern French Art from Millet to Matisse. This film tells fascinating stories about how visionary Scottish collectors invested in, what were then, innovative and radical artworks, and reveal how they found their way into Scotland’s national collection. It also examines the rising prices of these artworks, and the new market for forgeries this sparked. The exhibition was on at the Royal Scottish Academy Building in Edinburgh from 30 July - 13 November 2022.
