About the museum
The story of the Clark Art Institute
The Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, opened in 1955 to show the collection of Sterling and Francine Clark. It is set in a rolling 140-acre campus in the Berkshires.
It is especially known for French Impressionism, with more than thirty Renoirs, as well as Sargent, Homer and old masters.
The collection
Sterling Clark, heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune, and his wife Francine, a French actress, collected more than thirty Renoirs and works by Monet, Degas, Pissarro and Toulouse-Lautrec.
The collection also includes Sargent, Winslow Homer, old masters such as Piero della Francesca, and silver and porcelain.
At ArtLogia you can order 33 of its paintings as hand-painted reproductions, by 21 artists led by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Eugène Louis Boudin and John Constable.
