The Prado in Madrid have officially announced their recent acquisition of The Birth and Death of Adonis by François Boucher (although, several Spanish social media accounts had already pointed them out for several months now). The works, which date to shortly after 1731, were acquired for €2.2 million 'using funds generated by the generous bequest of Juan José Luna Fernández.'
