Picture: National Gallery
Curious story in The Sunday Times yesterday about the National Gallery's St Jerome (c.1496) by Albrecht Durer. Apparently, the organisers of the Early Durer exhibition in Nuremberg think it isn't by Durer. The National Gallery paid £9.4m for the picture in 1996. More details when I get them.
