Titian Tondo Triumph

Titian - Triumph of Love (c.1545)This tondo by Titian - Triumph of Love (c.1545) - has been acquired by the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, thanks to a donation by The Art Fund and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. It's worth about £600,000. The National Gallery in London cleaned and restored it and has put it on display until 20 September, when it will go to the Ashmolean for permanent display from November. (I assume this photo was taken pre-clean. I've tweaked its brightness, contrast and gamma settings to brighten it.)
