Last Day to View Masterpiece

Today affords the last opportunity to see the painting anonymously lent to the Fogg Art Museum a short time ago. The work is attributed to the Flemish painter, Roger van der Weyden (1400-1464), and represents Christ appearing to Mary. It is of rare value; both artistically and historically, and is said to have been presented by Pope Martin King John II of Castile, passing onwards to his son, Henrique IV, and then to his daughter, Isabelle la Catholic who bequeathed it to the Cathedral Granada.
