The History of the Hertz-Mond-Collection
The History of the Hertz-Mond-Collection
A Tale of Two Cities, Two Collectors, Two Museums and Two Families
Palazzo Zuccari, Rome (picture: Manfred Heyde)
Ludwig Mond
Bust of Henriette Hertz (picture: biblhertz.it)
Do read in my biography of Jean Paul Richter how the stories of the seemingly divided collections of Ludwig Mond (today mainly: National Gallery, London) and Henriette Hertz (today: Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, Palazzo Barberini, Rome) are deeply intertwined.
Or read the story of the Hertz-Collection as one segment of the so-called »Mondgalerie« in this exhibition catalogue.
The Poplars, London (picture: kingscollections.org)
And here is the appropriate soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMLnoe957Ls
(Picture: biblhertz.it)
And for those interested in the history of the Mond family and in the history of philanthropy I do recommend as a further reading: http://www.lewisiana.nl/gollancz
