All the passions won Titsianu - to «rescue» Turner not enough
the last six months, the British press replete with reports of a hectic campaign for the conservation of paintings by Titian in the country «Diana and Acteon». As a result, this event was a success: National Gallery in London and Edinburgh has been able to collect 50 million pounds to buy back the work of the the owner, intending to put it on the open bidding . But as it turns out, chump of English art of patriotism tasuetsya very whimsically.
So. It is likely that, in contrast to the «Diana and Acteon» cloth famous English landscape painter Joseph Mellorda William Turner (Joseph Mallord William Turner) «Pope Villa in Tuikheme», will soon leave the limits of the British Isles. This beautiful picture, for 160 years stored in glostershirskom Castle Lady Eshkomb (Ashcombe), went under the hammer at Sotheby's auction in July last year for 5.4 million pounds. The owner along with his son, film producers, Henry Dent-Broklherstom (Henry Dent-Brocklehurst), decided to sell the picture, and proceeds to spend on the content of the castle.
Piece Turner got anonymous buyer from the United States, and in December 2008 by representatives of the British Government imposed a temporary ban for the removal of the , to enable the British museums, galleries and private entrepreneurs to collect the required amount and leave it in the country. However, the validity of the ban expired on the evening of February 9, but no proposals for repurchase had been received.
The Secretary of the Independent Turner Society in London Uittingem Selby (Selby Whittingham) believes the loss of the paintings by this tragedy. «This is not the most well known work of Turner, because it has long been in a private collection, but the people who love creativity of the wizard, deeply admire her - he said. - In the financial situation, which is now in our country, anyone would be difficult find such a large sum of money. And so a great risk that we may lose other valuable works of art ».
As the representative of the Ministry of Culture, Media and Sport, UK, for three months, no reports of wanting to buy the picture had been made, therefore, Turner's landscape is likely to be exported abroad.
