Hi,

the latest version of Gnus from the git repository [1] supports the
display of images in HTML parts directly into the buffer, it also
provides the `gnus-article-browse-html-article' command for viewing the
HTML parts with and external browser.

I uploaded an example screenshot there:

You may consider to backup and update to the unstable version, or you
may try to backport the `gnus-article-browse-html-article' function from
the latest version of Gnus to the version which you are using.
