Titian (?) in the Dark

Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
I was visiting the Wallace Collection yesterday morning and came across their 'Ascribed to Titian' Venus and Cupid hanging in the Medieval & Renaissance galleries. The lighting of the glass cabinets below appears to have been updated recently, however, the painting is now sans any light whatsoever (I seem to remember it at least having a very old dedicated lamp back in the day).
Is it time AHN reignited Bendor's campaign from 2015 to encourage the museum to have the picture conserved?
