The Ulster Museum, Belfast, has shared news that it has saved Baldassare Peruzzi's rare Nativity for its collections. Regular readers might remember that the painting was at risk of leaving the country back in 2021, with a total of £463,317 being needed to keep it for a public collection here in the UK. A vast conservation project undertaken by the National Gallery, supported by the Aldama Foundation, has allowed for the painting to be cleaned and put on display in time for Christmas.
