Current Affairs 18th century painting re-exhibited at National Gallery after almost 100 years
The National Gallery in Prague boasts a new exhibit in its Collection of Old Masters, although new is not quite the word. On the contrary the ceiling canvas "Phaeton Begging the Chariot of Apollo" dates back to the beginning of the 18th century, and has been in the Gallery's possession for many years. But the work was damaged and for almost a hundred years was hidden from visitors. Now it has been painstakingly restored and since Tuesday has been on show in the National Gallery's Sternberg Palace.
