The announcement recalls that
the exhibition was originally supposed to close on January 7, but the museum managed to agree on the extension of the exhibition with foreign lending institutions.
The exhibition focusing on Renoir’s depictions of people was realized in collaboration with the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, but the Museum of Fine Arts borrowed artefacts from more than twenty foreign public collections for the exhibition.
At the exhibition, the public can see such major works as The Swing, Country Dance or Claude Renoir in Clown Costume.
The first exhibition in Hungary dedicated to the painter – in which the almost thirty Renoir works preserved in the Fine Arts Museum also play a prominent role –
describes the development of the artist in a chronological and thematic arrangement.
All three versions of Renoir’s Reclining Female Nude (Gabrielle), made between 1903 and 1907, were exhibited together for the first time at the exhibition, of which the first painted masterpiece came to the Museum of Fine Arts in 2019, as a result of a purchase of historical importance to the collection, the announcement states.
