Toledo Museum Acquires First Italian Baroque Painting in 26 Years - http://www.artdaily.org/index...
"Guercino’s vibrant "Lot and His Daughters" (about 1651-1652) was acquired by the Museum in October of 2009. The large painting (176 x 231 cm / 69 ¼ x 90 7/8 inches) will be unveiled to Museum members and the general public on Friday, Jan. 22 during a 7 p.m. ceremony in the Museum’s Great Gallery. "Lot and His Daughters" will temporarily hang in the gallery’s most prominent location, normally reserved for Peter Paul Rubens’ "Crowning of St. Catherine", which will be relocated to an adjacent wall. The move will result in several additional works being relocated within the gallery in order to show the new Guercino to its best advantage." - Kimber Scott
