From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Hecht (Brussels, 2 July 1842 - Paris, 21 August 1889) was a French banker, dealer and art collector, considered one of the leading Impressionist collectors of the time.[1][2][3]

Early life

[edit]

Hecht was born in Brussels to Maurice Hecht (born in Bad Dürkheim in 1814 and died in Paris in 1891), also an art collector, and his wife, Jeanne Kohn. Hecht had two brothers Myrtil and Henri. He and Henri built a private collection of hundreds of artworks, mainly Impressionist.

Hecht was friends with Édouard Manet, who art he also collected. He also befriended Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.[4]

Hecht died at the age of 47 in Paris. He bequeathed his large private collection to his daughter Suzanne Hecht Pontremoli. The latter had married the well-known French architect Emmanuel Pontremoli.[5]
