The Art Newspaper has shared news that Nicolas Poussin's Confirmation, which failed to find a UK institution willing to stump up the £19m required to keep it in the country when the Duke of Rutland sold it in 2022, has ended up in the collection of the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The picture has gone on display alongside Poussin's Self Portrait on loan from the Louvre in Paris in a special display. The unveiling of this news is part of the Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism's plan to make more of their recent acquisitions public in the coming year.
