From Buddha to the Baroque

From 01 Mar 2012 to 12 May 2012

2 March - 13 May. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek presents an exhibition of 100 works drawn from the collection of Carl Jacobsen.

The diverse selection reflects Jacobsen's eclectic tastes and includes Baroque sculptures and paintings, statues of Buddha and east Asian art. Many of the works have not been on public display for almost 100 years.

From an early age, Danish brewer Jacobsen collected paintings by artists such as Rubens, Rembrandt and Cranach, and Renaissance and Baroque sculptures, before developing an interest in sculpture from countries including China, Japan and Java.
