Apologies for the slow service, I'm currently away lecturing. I'll share some news as and when I can.
However, very interesting news from France that the French State (i.e. the Louvre) have pulled out of buying Rembrandt's The Standard Bearer (pictured). The painting was put up for sale by the Rothchilds two and a half years ago and had been declared a national treasure by the French ministry of culture. This means the painting can now be placed back onto the art market and thus leave France.
