National Gallery exhibition to shine a light on works of Renoir
The exhibition, Renoir And Love, will feature more than 50 works, and will go on display at the London gallery from October next year.
Organised in partnership with the Musee d'Orsay in Paris and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Renoir And Love will focus on the artist's career between the mid-1860s and the mid-1880s.
A National Gallery spokesman said the exhibition 'traces the evolution of the imagery of affection, seduction, conversation, male camaraderie and the sociability of the cafe and theatre, as well as merry-making, flirtation, courtship and child-rearing in Renoir's art'.
Exhibition co-curator Christopher Riopelle, the Neil Westreich Curator of Post 1800 Paintings at the National Gallery, said: 'More than any of his contemporaries, Renoir was committed to chronicling love and friendship and their informal manifestations as keys to modern life.
'Whether on Parisian street corners or in sun-dappled woodlands, he understood that emotion could be as fleeting, as evanescent, as blinding, as his other great and transitory subject, sunlight itself.'
The exhibition will be on display from October 3 next year until January 31 2027.

Once a defining footwear choice of the early 2000s, the ballet flat has re-emerged in recent years as a staple - and this time, it's more versatile and coveted than ever. One person who has been ahead of the curve is the Princess of Wales ' sister, Pippa Middleton. Known for her effortlessly chic wardrobe, Pippa has been a loyal fan of ballet flats for years - long before their current revival. From sleek monochrome designs and classic neutrals to bold pops of red, she has consistently proven these flats are both timeless and endlessly wearable. This season, the high street is brimming with ballet flats for every taste - whether you're after a minimalist style, something floral and feminine or full-on glamour with embellishments. At the top of my wish list are the Amber flats from LK Bennett. With a sleek silhouette and elaborate strap, they're the perfect blend of sophistication and sparkle. The Mary Janes from Tabitha Simmons' collection for Next are also a standout thanks to their scalloped edging and metallic gold finish - ideal for day-to-night dressing. For those prioritising comfort without compromising on style, Vivaia delivers with a red lace-up design that is made to carry you through the day in ease. Ever-iconic Pretty Ballerinas are offering chic mint green and white woven leather shoes, which are light, airy and ideal for warmer weather. And if you're looking to make a statement, Penelope Chilvers and Schuh are embracing bold animal prints, with leopard and zebra designs leading the charge. For a feminine finish, Aldo's Floralina Ballerinas in a pretty lilac tone will add just the right touch of charm. Take a look below to see these and more of my favourite ballet flats this season - there is something for everyone.
