Fantastic news from the National Gallery / National Galleries of Scotland. It was finally announced today that the necessary £50 million had been raised to secure Titian's Diana and Actaeon for the nation. The original deadline of 31 December 2008 had been extended to allow complex negotiations between the two galleries and the Duke of Sutherland in order to secure the additional long-term loan of the prestigious Bridgewater Collection. £7.4 million was donated by public giving with the rest coming from various heritage, government and art institution sources.
