UK stops export of Hogarth painting
The United Kingdom has placed a temporary export ban on 'The Christening,' a William Hogarth painting satirising the lives of the wealthy in 18th-century England. The painting is in danger of leaving Britain unless £1.2 million (₹10 crore) can be raised by a UK buyer. An advisory panel, which decides whether works can be considered national treasures, took the decision.
