Lille's Palais des Beaux Arts dedicates an exhibition to the Scandinavian masters. Between 1870 and 1914, artists from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden converged on Paris, then the capital of the arts, attracting the attention of Monet, Cazin and Rodin.
By the time of the two Expositions Universelles in the French capital in 1889 and 1900, these Scandinavian artists had cemented their reputation and, in the wake of such enthusiasm, the French government had acquired a number of their works.
The exhibition at the Palais des Beaux Arts is a showcase of stirring portraits and vast snow and seascapes, including works by Vilhelm Hammershøi and Peder Krøder (Denmark), Albert Edelfelt and Ville Vallgren (Finland), Frit Thaulow and Edvard Munch (Norway) and Hugo Salmson, August Strindberg and Anders Zorn (Sweden).
