A series of 54 paintings by the 17thC Italian artist Vicente Carducho has been reassembled in a Spanish monastery, the place of its original commission.

The pictures were first taken away from the monastery La Chartreuse del Paular in 1835, but have now been returned and restored. The pictures depict the life of St Bruno and other celebrated Carthusian monks. Full details here (in Spanish)
