James Stunt

British businessman James Stunt is rapidly emerging as one of the leading collectors of his generation. His remarkable holdings include Old Master works by Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Turner, and Constable – among others – and he has assembled the world’s greatest privately owned collection of paintings by Peter Lely. Impressionist and modern artists represented in his collection read like a who’s who of art history: from Monet and Degas, via Picasso and Matisse, to Warhol, Ruscha and Richter. Stunt has quietly supported museums through loans, often anonymously, including major British paintings lent to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2014.
