"Guercino's King David has now joined its two companion works at the National Gallery, settling £5.6m in inheritance tax from the estate of Jacob Rothschild through the UK's Acceptance in Lieu scheme."
"Mikhail Evlampievich Perkhin crafted a triptych icon presented to Tsar Nicholas II in 1895 to honor the birth of his first child, Grand Duchess Olga."
Guercino's painting King David has been added to the National Gallery, completing a collection through a £5.6 million inheritance tax settlement from Jacob Rothschild's estate. This piece complements two previously acquired works. Additionally, a Fabergé triptych crafted by Mikhail Evlampievich Perkhin has been purchased by the Musée du Louvre, symbolizing the birth of Grand Duchess Olga in 1895. This acquisition, which cost €2.2 million, was supported by a larger gift meant for the museum's Byzantine and Eastern Christian art department.
