News has emerged that the Dutch Government have agreed to spend €175m on purchasing Rembrandt's The Standard Bearer from the Rothchild family. The Art Newspaper (linked above) have drawn particular attention to the fact some Dutch senators have raised concerns that the purchase will be made via a trust in the Cook Islands.
Culture minister Gunay Uslu, who had worked as an art historian and curator in the past, has said that the work is “inextricably linked to the history of the Netherlands”.
