The largest Scandinavian exhibition to date of the work of Claude Monet is due to open on August 24 at Ordrupgaard Museum, located on the outskirts of Copenhagen in Denmark. “Monet: Beyond Impressionism” will run until December 4.

Through 50 works, most of which have never been seen in the country and have come from some of the world’s major museums, Ordrupgaard hopes to take visitors on “a journey of evolution from Impressionism towards the freer use of form and color in Modern art.” The exhibition aims to achieve this by portraying “the story of how Monet, with his serial and increasingly abstract art, renewed painting and undertook a formal quantum leap which remains of relevance for the art of today.”

Among the dozens of works on display at the Charlottenlund museum, Monet fans will be able to see versions of some of his most famous subjects — and, indeed, some of the most famous images of Impressionism. These include his haystacks, as well as views of Rouen Cathedral, London’s bridges, and the varied beauty of his garden in Giverny, the Japan-inspired surroundings of which Monet painted and cultivated for nearly four decades.

The Japanese water garden built by Monet in Giverny gives the exhibition its most notable images. These include “The Water-Lily Pond,” 1899, on loan from London's National Gallery. One of 17 versions of the high-arched bridges that the artist painted, this early painting in the series is one of its most realistic. The exhibition traces the series as it becomes more abstract with the failing of Monet’s eyesight due to cataract. This work is on display alongside other works from the world’s biggest museums, including MoMA and the Met in New York, and the National Gallery of Australia.

“Monet. Beyond Impressionism” runs from August 24 through December 4 at Ordrupgaard.
