National Gallery exhibition to shine a light on works of Renoir
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.

'Denise Welch made me buy this £49 M&S jacket that's perfect for summer layering'
The Loose Women panellist is best known for her acting and presenting roles, but one of her recent outfits cemented her name on the list of daytime TV fashion icons If you'd asked me last month to name my daytime fashion inspirations, I'd likely have reeled off the usual suspects - Frankie Bridge, Cat Deeley or Rochelle Humes. Denise Welch probably wouldn't have been the first name that comes to mind, but appearing on a June episode of Loose Women, the actress was seen sporting a piece that I instantly had to track down. The 67-year-old donned the Pure Cotton Striped Tie Front Shacket from M&S's Per Una collection, which happens to be under £50. When I checked online for stock, it had completely sold out, but luckily I managed to get my hands on it in store. Lucky for shoppers, it's since been restocked and is available in most sizes. Now, I really dislike the word shacket. It gives me the same visceral reaction others get to words like 'moist'. However, while the word once triggered fashion fatigue, it really is the best way to describe this blouse-come-layering-piece. Priced at £49.50, the lightweight jacket is made from 100% cotton in an oversized, boxy fit. It's lightweight enough to be worn alone as a blouse, but heavy enough to wear as a jacket without it being flimsy. It boasts long sleeves and a collared V-neckline, complete with three tie front closures for an on-trend look. This design detail is one that won't be going out of style anytime soon, either, which means shoppers can wear it year-round. However, not everyone has been a fan of the trend. On the M&S jacket, one shopper commented: 'Who needs such fussy ties to close this top? This season seems full of them.' That said, others have left five star reviews, complimenting the shacket's 'good quality' and 'comfortable' feel. One wrote: 'The item was made of good quality fabric with an unusual closure but it was large. I usually take 18/20 and even the 16 was loose.' Another said: 'Great quality and design, comfortable to wear was a little unsure as shacket as have purchased one before and not altogether sold on these as really was not one thing or another but I would say this is a heavy denim shirt and a good spring top very intend with the tie front.' If the M&S tie-front shacket has whet your appetite for a new denim staple, but isn't quite for you, Boden's Denim Frill Collar Jacket costs £119 and is channeling Parisian vibes. The feminine ruffles are a dreamy touch that set it apart from other denim pieces on the high street. Alternatively, this ASOS DESIGN denim rugby top is on sale from £36 to £23.50. It has that same revere collar silhouette, but is ideal for wearing solo, accessorised with a satin neck tie. As for the M&S jacket, I paired it with the matching pinstripe jeans, however, I was a little bit let down by them. The quality and cut were spot on, but they appear to be a touch lighter than the top, and while most people wouldn't notice, it does bug me a little bit. It doesn't matter when wearing them as separates, but when opting for the full co-ord look, it would have been better if they were exactly the same shade. Another slight downside about the top is that the ties do occasionally need tightening throughout the day, but that's a minor inconvenience and wouldn't stop me from wearing it - especially considering how many compliments it's earned me. So while Denise Welch being a style icon may not have been on my 2025 bingo card, I must give credit where it's due because I haven't been able to stop wearing this jacket since I bought it. It's currently available in sizes 8-22 online, though some additional sizes could be found in store. It is roomy, so if you enjoy an oversized fit, I'd go for your usual size, but for a snugger silhouette, many will be able to afford sizing down.

Italian Oasis fans recreate iconic Manchester street Renaissance photo
No, the last time you saw the above photograph wasn't it hanging in the Renaissance section of the National Gallery in London. In 2016, photographer Joel Goodman captured a Manchester street strewn with drunk revellers on New Year's Eve. First appearing on the Manchester Evening News, the photo shows police wrestling a man in the foreground, crowds outside a Greggs and a man who looks ready to be drawn like a French girl with his belly half out. The snap went viral on social media, with users recreating it as a watercolour painting or using the man as their artistic muse. Others found it almost perfectly flowed with the golden ratio – a snail shell-shaped proportion frequently found in nature and paintings. A lot has changed in the nearly 10 years since the Well Street Renaissance photo was taken, but it doesn't seem anyone has forgotten about it. Mancunian Ross posted on Bluesky about how she was leaving the pub when she spotted 'young-ish people frolicking on a random side street'. 'They're all wearing black, have got their phones out and are in odd positions on the pavement and in the side street,' she said. 'They seem to be yelling directions at each other. After a second of observing, I realise. 'Are you all trying to recreate the accidental Renaissance picture?!' 'YES!!!'' The group of art lovers had travelled to Manchester from Italy to see Oasis perform in Heaton for Liam and Noel Gallagher's Live '25 Tour. Ross said she decided to help out the Adidas-clad fans recreate Goodman's photograph by pretending to be one of the officers. 'We got chatting and (although I had to admit my general neutrality towards Oasis) I was effusive about how much I love this city after over a decade of living here and that they should all visit again,' Ros added. 'It was so, so lovely. Supersonic! Molto bene!' And other Bluesky users agreed. 'Recreating the masterpiece,' said Daniel Savage, an artist. 'What a joyful thing in this miserable world.' More Trending Simon Smith, a journalist, added: 'This is one of the best artistic statements ever made by any Italians. Ever.' Goodman, the man behind the original photo, felt the same – and for a very important reason. 'You've got to love these Oasis fans travelling from Italy to celebrate Mancunian culture,' he told Metro. 'As artificial intelligence (AI) saps the humanity and diversity from the world's creative wonders, it warms my soul to see people celebrate their love for music and photographs that reflect real human experiences, only made possible because they were created by humans.'
