The Prado Museum in Madrid have announced their acquisition of a painting of Christ by Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina (c.1475-1536). As you might imagine, the Spanish press have particularly picked up on the fact the artist had been an assistant to Leonardo da Vinci. The acquisition was revealed in an Instagram post by Prado Medieval art specialist Joan Molina with further details that the painting cost the museum €30,000. It seems that the panel painting will now undergo a research project to find out more about its creation and provenance.
