A Family History in Art

Patrick Matthiesen's father, Francis Matthiesen, was also an art dealer. He had his own art gallery a long time ago. Francis first opened his gallery in Berlin, Germany.

Later, Francis had to move his gallery to London. This happened because of very difficult times in Germany during that period. So, the Matthiesen family has a long history of sharing art with the world.
