Georges de La Tour in UK collections
November 15 2011
Picture: Louvre
Following Art History Today's point about the lack of a work by Georges de La Tour in the National Gallery, a reader writes:
One or two things about the item on the National Gallery's lack of a de la Tour.
When it was offered to them in the 30s it was owned by the English dealer Percy Moore Turner, who subsequently gave it to the Louvre [see their website].
So if you want to see one in this country you have to go to Hampton Court, Leicester and, most importantly, Stockton-on-Tees. Rather as with Schaufelein you have to go to Gateshead - who have another panel from the same source as the Met's recent acquisition.
