National Gallery Drops, Breaks Renaissance Painting
"A 500-year-old panel painting by Domenico Beccafumi of Marcia was broken in half, in one of the most serious handling accidents known to have occurred in a UK museum in living memory. This happened during deinstallation of the "Renaissance Siena" exhibition, which closed on 13 January." The Art Newspaper 05/16/08
