    FLANDERS: Madonna and Child

    In 1923 the NGV paid a high price for this work, since then, the authenticity of the work has been questioned and still the debate rages.

    Giambattista TIEPOLO: The Finding of Moses

    Buying a painting by Sebastiano Ricci proved to be a good deal for the NGV when a tip off showed the work to be that of the master Tiepolo.

    Jusepe de RIBERA: Martyerdom of St Lawrence

    This very dramatic 17th century painting was once part of the high altar in a church in the Spanish district in Rome. A shift in taste saw it removed and now it hangs in Melbourne.

    Nathaniel DANCE: The Pybus Family

    This portrait of an affluent family, with their bright coloured clothes, has a surprising Australian connection.

    DOSSO DOSSI: Lucrezia Borgia, Duchess of Ferrara

    This portrait was bought over fifty years ago and no one then knew who the sitter was. New technology and research has solved this puzzling mystery.

    Paris BORDONE: Rest on the flight into Egypt with Saint Catherine and Angels

    This recent acquisition was attributed to the wrong artist for quite some time.

    Prospero FONTANA: Holy Family with St Jerome, a female martyr and the infant St John the Baptist

    The complex composition of this active Italian work shocases the change of taste that occurred in the mid 16th century.
