May 13 2025
Picture: The National Gallery, London
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
A reader has kindly pointed out that I forgot to mention that The National Gallery in London has also increased their very healthy stock of Guercinos with the acquisition of this King David through the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme (AIL). The picture has settled £5.6m of tax from the estate of the late Jacob, 4th Baron Rothschild, who died in February 2024.
