The Art Newspaper have published an article on the new deal reached between The National Gallery in London and the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. Both galleries have agreed to continue sharing 8 of the masterpieces of the bequest, including the likes of Manet's Music in the Tuileries Gardens (pictured), on five year cycles. Two other paintings have been added to the list of shared works, including Daumier’s Don Quixote and Sancho Panza (1855), and Corot’s Avignon from the West (1836). New agreements have also been struck in regards to collection care and conservation.
