Alfred Sisley, La Seine à Argenteuil (The Seine at Argenteuil), 1872, oil on canvas, private collection, USA
Explore with us the lost world of Felicie and Carl Bernstein:
The exhibition at the Liebermann Villa at Wannsee tells for the first time the story of the important Jewish art collector couple Felicie (1849–1908) and Carl Bernstein (1842–1894) – key figures in the art scene of imperial Berlin.
In the summer of 1882, Felicie and Carl Bernstein brought significant works of French Impressionism to Berlin – including paintings by Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, and Alfred Sisley. As Jewish intellectuals with roots in the Russian Empire, they hosted a renowned salon in the Tiergarten district that brought together the city’s most important cultural figures.
Artists such as Max Liebermann and Max Klinger were regular guests and drew inspiration from the Bernsteins’ collection.
