In Need of Help
Nicholas Poussin’s ‘Extreme Unction’ goes on show at the National Gallery in London. The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge has embarked on a public appeal to secure the £14m painting for public display. The first few weeks of fundraising has risen £550,000 but needs a total of £3.9m by early November. The masterpiece, which is claimed to be Poussin’s greatest piece of work, can be seen at the National Gallery from 20 September – 11 November. (Barcroft)
