The Renoir Girls: Book talk with Catherine Ostler and Christopher Riopelle
About the event
Join author and historian Catherine Ostler in conversation with Chris Riopelle, curator of the Gallery's new exhibition ' Renoir and Love ', as they delve into the remarkable story behind Renoir's celebrated portraits of the Cahen d'Anvers sisters. In her acclaimed book 'The Renoir Girls', an instant New York Times bestseller, Catherine Ostler draws on extensive research in family archives and collections across Europe to trace the fortunes of a prominent Jewish banking family, from the glittering world of Belle Époque Paris through the upheavals of the 20th century. Join us in the Pigott Theatre for an illuminating conversation that uncovers a powerful story of art, identity, love, and survival, revealing how one family's lives and remarkable collection were transformed by the forces of history. This event is also available online , exclusively for National Gallery Members
