'Renoir Landscapes 1865-1883'
Pierre-Auguste Renoir's early landscapes reveal the artist's remarkable experimentation and innovation, and this uplifting exhibition is the first to examine this vital aspect of Renoir's achievement.
Bringing together some 70 landscapes, the exhibition includes works executed when the young artist was working beside the painters who would become his fellow Impressionists and features landscapes of intensive light and colour painted in France, Italy, Guernsey and Algeria.
'Renoir Landscapes' opens on 21 February. Advance booking advised.

'Tim Gardner: New Works'
Tim Gardner, a young artist (born 1973) currently living in British Columbia, spent three months exploring the Gallery's collection and used an artist's studio here. This exhibition highlights the paintings he executed in the wake of that experience.
Gardner works primarily in watercolour and many of his paintings have been based on snapshots of family, friends, athletes and mountain landscapes.
'Tim Gardner: New Works' continues until 15 April. Admission is free.
An accompanying catalogue is available, price £4.95.
