Frits Lugt, 1884-1970

Description:

This is the story of the remarkable collector, art dealer, researcher, art historian and author Frits Lugt (1884-1970). From 1901 to 1915 he worked at a Amsterdam auction company. From 1915 he collected paintings, drawings, prints and antiques. Not restricting himself to collect works of great artists like Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck and Watteau, Lugt also succeeded in acquiring exceptional artworks by relatively smaller artists.
