Article: The Times-Botticelli that got away arrives in UK
A famed Botticelli painting is finally in Britain a century after one of the country’s greatest art dealers failed to buy it and lamented it as “the one that got away”.
The portrait of Michele Marullo, the soldier-poet of the Renaissance, is one of the highlights of this year’s Frieze Masters art fair in London. Its owners hope to sell it for at least $30 million.
