A Monet masterpiece painted in 1872 has gone on display at a gallery – one of only four hosts chosen.
The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil is on display at South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, as part of a tour led by the National Gallery.
The work depicts a winter’s day on the banks of the river on the outskirts of Paris and is part of an exhibition exploring themes of calm, retreat and resilience in art and nature.
South Tyneside Council leader Tracey Dixon said was an “exceptional chance for our community to encounter one of the world’s most renowned artworks” after the venue was chosen out of only four in England.
