“One of JMW Turner’s finest watercolours will remain in the UK after the Tate launched a campaign to keep the masterpiece in the country. The Blue Rigi was sold at auction last June to an anonymous bidder for £5.8m – a record for a British watercolour. The culture minister put a temporary bar on the painting leaving the country to give the Tate time to raise the £4.95m it needed to buy it back. The total has now been reached after members of the public donated £550,000.”
