The
Courtlauld Institute was established in 1931 by the textile magnate
Samuel Courtauld. A descendant of Samuel Courtauld the founder
of the silk manufacturing company Courtlauds Ltd in 1816 he was
a patron of art and music. He built the Courtauld Institute of
Art in Portman Square and donated his collection of impressionist
and Post Impressionist paintings to the London University. Donations
since to the collection have made it more a collection representative
of post-Renaissance European art - works by Botticelli, Brueghel,
Bellinai, Rubens and Tiepolo. The gallery also has a fine collection
of 20th century British art. The move to Somerset House
in 1990 was to cost an estimated 3 million pounds which then rose
to 10. The University of London contributed 4 million pounds,
and the Government considerably less, the greatest share coming
from the public appeal with raised 5 million pounds. The property
had to be underpinned when it was found there were no foundations,
the floors strengthened with tons of steel, and lighting, smoke
controls and humidity regulators all installed to protect the
collection. Previously in Woburn Square only 35 per cent of the
Collection has been displayed, this will rise to 80 per cent at
Somerset House.The collection attracts 90,000 visitors a year.
