London gallery to showcase impressionist works that were out on loan during three-year redevelopment
Renoir’s once shocking La Loge is back from Belfast. Van Gogh’s show-stopping Self-portrait With Bandaged Ear has arrived from Amsterdam. Seurat’s Young Woman Powdering Herself from Edinburgh. A long white wall will soon have eight Cézannes, once art lovers in Bergen have finished admiring them.
“It is so thrilling. We’ve missed them,” said Ernst Vegelin van Claerbergen, the head of the Courtauld Gallery in London. “It is wonderful that other people have enjoyed them but it is time for them to come home.”
