Interesting[edit]

An interesting page - is it not perhaps lacking a mention of the major purchase of the two Titians by the National Galleries?

Sounds like it would be a helpful addition. I hadn't heard about it before, as I'm not from the UK. I'm rather tied up right now, but please feel free to add it yourself. Thanks, Lithoderm 04:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note[edit]

This article probably needs mention; I will add it when I have the time. (Unless someone else wants to step up...) Lithoderm 14:53, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I really haven't found the time to update this, so if anyone else is interested, there are the links. I've tagged the page as outdated. Lithoderm 20:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
