The Belle Époque and Beyond
Rounding out the Masters Week offerings, Sotheby’s presents the 19th & 20th Century European Art sale on February 5, 2026. This auction bridges the gap between the Old Masters and the Modernists, featuring works from the Barbizon School, Victorian era, and early Expressionism.
This category is often where savvy collectors find value. The market for 19th-century European art is established but less speculative than the ultra-contemporary sector. It appeals to those who appreciate technical mastery and historical narrative. If you are considering leveraging such assets, New York Loan Company offers specialized lending services against fine art. Discover more investment avenues in our February 2026 guide.
