Wilhelm Hansen (1868—1936), a Danish insurance tycoon, assembled the Ordrupgaard Collection in only two years. In 1918 Mr. Hansen constructed his country house, which he named Ordrupgaard, and outfitted it with a large picture gallery for displaying his prized French art. When his wife, Henny, died in 1951, she bequeathed the entire collection and the Hansens´ home to the Danish government. Many of the Impressionist paintings from the Ordrupgaard Collection are not only beautiful, they resonate a mysterious psychological passion. Among the masterworks exhibited at the MFAH are such famous paintings as Cézanne´s Women Bathing, Daumier´s The Wrestlers, Degas´s Three Dancers, Gauguin´s Portrait of a Young Girl, Monet´s Waterloo Bridge, Overcast, and Morisot´s Lady with a Fan. Also of note are 15 important works that represent the famed "Golden Age" of Danish painting.
