Notify me about this case

Der Prophet Elias auf dem goldenen Wagen has returned from a private US collection following a negotiated settlement funded by the Ernst von Siemens Art Foundation. The announcement reunites Gotha’s five Rubens oil studies after more than 80 years. Der heilige Augustinus joins them on long-term loan, not as a transfer of ownership.
