NEW EVENT: The Renoir Girls: A Hidden History of Art, War and Betrayal
In 1881, Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted two sisters from a prominent Jewish banking dynasty in Paris, the Cahen d'Anvers.
ㅤ
His portrait, 'Pink and Blue', captures the refinement and confidence of a world in which a few Jewish families like them were central to French culture and an integral part of high society, at the height of the Belle Époque in Paris.
ㅤ
But beneath the glamour and beauty, antisemitism was already on the rise.
ㅤ
In her new book, 'The Renoir Girls', historian and and former Editor-in-Chief of Tatler, Catherine Ostler, tells the remarkable story behind this iconic painting, and of the Jewish family at the heart of it.
ㅤ
Join us in conversation with Catherine on July 8.

📍July 8, 19:30, NW London
