ALBERT ANKER 3/3 – His paintings have continued to enjoy a great popularity due to their general accessibility. In 1901, a stroke, which essentially paralyzed his right hand, reduced his ability to work. Ins, a village in Seeland, was his hometown, where he grew up and lived there for many years, even if he preferred to spend the winter months in Paris. To finish your outing in Ins, you can visit the Albert Anker House, the stunning farmhouse where he was born and spent much of his life. The rooms conveys a great deal of the artistic spirit and prevailing tastes of those times.
