WELCOME HOME
MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY CHANUKAH
The moving, magnificent Nativity by Piero della Francesca is back.
After three years lost to public view during its restoration it now is in room 17a at the National Gallery in London. It will be reunited with Piero's Baptism "in good time." And let's hope that when, eventually, the Sainsbury Wing reopens after a new entrance hall is fashioned, the Baptism and Nativity will be together once again as they should be in the special room created just for Piero. After all hope is not always disappointed. This is a restoration that does not destroy the painting but makes it easier to contemplate.
And big thanks Hannah Rothschild and the Rothschild Foundation for making it possible.
