Here's an interesting story which has made the headlines in Spain (spotted via @MarteVelazquez), and a part of the loan exhibition world you usually don't often hear much about publicly. The Spanish Ministry of Culture has disclosed that it has insured €134m worth of paintings by El Greco for an upcoming exhibition at the Prado in 2025. This tremendous sum is for the loan of a total of four works, three from the Church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo (pictured), Spain, and one from the Art Institute in Chicago.
This is in preparation of an exhibition in Madrid which will focus on the works commissioned for the aforementioned Church in Toledo and is set to run from February to June 2025.
