Manchester Art Gallery made the decision to take down JW Waterhouse's 1896 painting Hylas and the Nymphs.

It temporarily removed the Victorian painting of naked adolescent girls in a move to "encourage debate" about how such images should be displayed in the modern age.

Curator Clare Gannaway said there were "tricky issues about gender, race and representation" in the gallery, adding: "But we want to talk about that with people."
