The paintings, including work by Monet and Lowry, are loaned by retailer M&S to a Leeds gallery.

A collection of art, including rarely-exhibited works by Monet, Lowry and Turner, has been loaned to a Leeds gallery by retailer Marks & Spencer.

M&S began in the city in 1884, when founder Michael Marks opened his first penny bazaar. He would go on to merge with Tom Spencer in 1894.More stories from across Yorkshire Company archivist Katharine Carter said it was very fitting for the "wonderful art treasures" to be experienced by a wider audience.

The piece by Lowry is called Market Stalls and was commissioned to celebrate the opening of the Market Street M&S store in Manchester in 1961. It has not been on display since 1976.
