The Fürstenberg Gallery II (Room 17)
The Fürstenberg Gallery provides a unique insight into the dramatic Nordic art life of the 1880s and 1890s and comprises some of the foremost works from the period. Pontus and Göthilda Fürstenberg collected primarily “the opponents”, who were influenced by the French en plein air painting and impressionism; they also acquired French and contemporary art from other Nordic countries. In 1902, they bequeathed their collection to the Gothenburg Museum, where it was installed in its own gallery; it was later relocated to the new art museum at Götaplatsen.
