Thank you to everyone that has supported our campaign to secure Diana and Acteon for the nation. There has been very good progress in both fund-raising and the negotiation of terms for this important acquisition.
Our efforts to bring the campaign to a successful conclusion continue and we will not be making any further announcements until January.
Nicholas Penny on the campaign to secure the paintings
The National Gallery and the National Galleries of Scotland have been offered the unique opportunity to purchase Titian’s ‘Diana and Actaeon’. To do this we need to raise £50 million.
If funds can be raised, the two galleries will then have the chance to purchase the second picture, ‘Diana and Callisto’ for a similar amount. If we are successful, the two Titian paintings will be displayed in London and Edinburgh, alternating between the galleries every five years.
Please help us to secure these masterpieces for future generations.
