The Lane Bequest is a collection of 39 paintings from the estate of Sir Hugh Lane. The collection is mainly paintings by French 19th-century artists, including several by the Impressionists, including masterpieces such as Manet's Music in the Tuileries (1862) and Renoir's The Umbrellas (c.1881), along with many more modest works. The collection is owned by the National Gallery, London, but most of the paintings are now displayed at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.
Since 1959 the two galleries have arranged rotations of works between them. In 2008 the whole bequest was exhibited together in Dublin for the first time in several decades.
