British National Pride Fends Off Getty Titian Sale
The British National Gallery raised funds to keep Titian's The Death of Actaeon in Britain, opposing J Paul Getty's $4.58 million bid. A national appeal aims to cover the price and duties, ensuring the piece remains in its permanent collection rather than moving to the United States.
