Discovering the Impressionists: Paul Durand-Ruel, Art Dealer Among the Artists is Geelong Gallery’s major exhibition for 2026. Bringing together more than 70 paintings, many from private collections in France and rarely seen in Australia, the exhibition explores the story of Impressionism through the artists who defined the movement and the visionary art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, whose support helped transform Impressionism into one of the world’s most celebrated artistic movements.
