...did you know that the National Gallery "bought" Guercino's The Cumnaean Sibyl with a Putto from Denis Mahon in 2011. I guess it came to them immediately on his death last year...
I knew that it had been on loan from Sir Denis' collection while payments were made (covering the rent of his flat I think), but not that the deal had now been completed. Thanks!
