Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. Trees bud, fields and hedgerows bloom with early flowers, bright yellow daffodils make their appearance in our gardens – the earth comes to life again and the world seems brighter.

In celebration of this magical time of year we've chosen some our favourite Spring themed paintings from our collections. There are lots of famous names here but also some lesser-known gems. We hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we enjoyed selecting them.
