| history |
Charlotte Pruyn Hyde (1867-1963) was an art connoisseur born into a wealthy paper mill family in Glens Falls, NY. She and her husband, Louis Fiske Hyde (1866-1934) built an art collection together. Aided by advisors such as Valentiner, R. Langton Douglas, and Berenson the couple created an art collection which included Old Master paintings, drawings and sculpture by such artists as Botticelli, El Greco, Raphael, Rembrandt, and Rubens. After Louis' death Charlotte expanded their collection to include work by modern masters such as Cézanne, Degas, Picasso, Renoir, Seurat, and van Gogh. At the same time she added works by American artists including Eakins, Hassam, Homer, Peto, and Ryder. Charlotte established a trust in 1952 that dedicated her home and her extensive art collection to the community. This collection is housed in an Italian Renaissance-style home, includes decorative arts and is known as the Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY. |
