Focus on this artwork and explain the Provenance.
The provenance of La Fuensanta has been largely unknown since 1930, when it was exhibited at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville. In 1994, the painting was bought by an Argentine citizen. In November 2007, La Fuensanta was sold by Sotheby's to a private buyer. The Spanish Ministry of Culture tried to purchase the painting from Sotheby's, but the auction price of €1,173,400 euros was too high.
