The exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery (14 Feb to 26 May 2025) presents a rare opportunity to see an outstanding selection of paintings in London from the Oskar Reinhart Collection, Winterthur. Amongst these highly prized works are the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings.

In this presentation we will look closely at a small selection of audacious canvases by artists including Manet, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec to consider their significance in the development of French modern art.
