The Ashmolean warmly welcomes this acquisition of a painting by one of the most important artists in the Western tradition, and we're so pleased that it will remain in the UK. We recognise the value of the Klesch Collection's commitment to lending works to public institutions.

At a Christie's auction in 1989, a seemingly unremarkable marble sculpture was identified by Patricia Wengraf as Giambologna's 'Fata Morgana', once deemed lost.
