Samuel Courtauld was an English industrialist who is best remembered as an art collector. He founded The Courtauld Institute of Art in London in 1932 and, after a series of gifts during the 1930s, bequeathed his collection to the institute on his death.
The Strand block of Somerset House, designed by William Chambers from 1775 to 1780, has housed The Courtauld Institute of Art since 1989.
