RENOIR AND LOVE

National Gallery, London
Until 31 January 2027

"Why does Renoir continue to captivate audiences more than a century after his death?"

This autumn, the National Gallery invites visitors to explore the life and work of one of France's most beloved Impressionist painters in a major exhibition dedicated to Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Renoir and Love brings together a remarkable collection of paintings, drawings and personal works that reveal the artist through the lens of his closest relationships. From romantic love and friendship to family bonds and artistic collaborations, the exhibition explores how the people around Renoir shaped both his life and his art.

Best known for his radiant portraits, sun-dappled landscapes and scenes of Parisian life, Renoir had a unique ability to capture warmth, intimacy and human connection. This new exhibition takes a closer look at the stories behind some of his most celebrated works, offering fresh insight into the emotions and experiences that inspired them.

Whether you're a lifelong admirer of Impressionism or simply looking for a cultural day out in central London, Renoir and Love is a chance to see masterpieces from across international collections gathered together in one place.

Located in the heart of Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery provides the perfect setting for this thoughtful and visually stunning exhibition. Afterwards, make a day of it with a stroll through St James's Park, a visit to nearby galleries, or a leisurely lunch in the West End.

A must-see for art lovers and curious Londoners alike, Renoir and Love offers a timely reminder of the enduring power of affection, creativity and human connection.
