Description

Found in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. "The development of this identity was probably the most important motivation for the bourgeoisie to collect art. It was a way to define themselves as a new group and to communicate this identity to the outside world. This self-defining function is in fact probably the strongest driving force behind every collection." Rovers, E. 2009. The art collector – between philanthropy and self-glorification. In: Journal of the History of Collections vol. 21 (2). 159.
