Sinebrychoff: Collan's Collection

Collectors of old foreign graphics have always been rare in Finland. The most notable Finnish collector was Alexander von Collan, a civil servant from Helsinki, who acquired a collection of about 2000 prints, mainly from Germany, over a period of 15 years. The collection mainly comprises Dutch, French, Italian and German intaglio prints from the 17th and 18th centuries. The collection includes some individual prints and sets of exceptional quality, for instance an almost complete set of Anton van Dyck's portrait series known as Iconographia. The main categories in Collan's collection are portraits, genre paintings and landscapes. In 1900, Collan offered to sell his collection and literature related to the subject to the Antell Committee, which consulted experts and decided to purchase the collection for FIM 20,000.
