Museum to host Renoir painting in Northern Ireland for first time

A Northern Ireland museum has secured the first French Impressionist painting in a public collection in the region.

The rare landscape by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, L’Allee Au Bois, has been acquired by National Museums NI and is on display at the Ulster Museum.

Renoir was one of the leaders of Impressionism in Paris during the 1870s and 1880s.
