Earlier this month, a beloved DMA painting was reunited with its pendant, the work of art that was meant to hang next to it. These two paintings have been separated since 1806, when they were sold into two private collections. I have heard about this mysterious pendant painting to A Mountain Landscape with Approaching Storm for years, but its location was unknown. That all changed earlier this year, and A Grand View of the Sea Shore is hanging in the DMA’s European galleries until December 11. I hope you’ll stop by and admire it next time you’re at the Museum.
