Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s La Loge (The Theatre Box), 1874, is one of the masterpieces of Impressionism and a major highlight of The Courtauld Gallery’s collection. Its depiction of an elegant couple on display in a loge, or box at the theatre, epitomises the Impressionists’ interest in the spectacle of modern life.

In celebration of The Courtauld Institute of Art’s 75th anniversary the exhibition Renoir at the Theatre: Looking at ‘La Loge’, was on view from 21 February to 25 May 2008, united La Loge for the first time with Renoir’s other treatments of the subject and loge paintings by contemporaries, including Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas.  Concentrating on the early years of Impressionism during the 1870s, the exhibition explored how these artists used the loge to capture the excitement and changing nature of fashionable Parisian society.

The book moves from reassessment of La Loge's place within the history of Impressionism to consider its wider cultural context, including the social spectacle of Paris' theatres, the boom of the Parisian fashion industry and the influence of satire and the popular press.
