THE TAKING OF CHRIST BY CARAVAGGIO HAS RETURNED TO PUBLIC VIEW IN THE BEIT WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF IRELAND, DUBLIN. THE PAINTING, WHICH IS PLACED ON INDEFINITE LOAN TO THE NATIONAL GALLERY FROM THE JESUIT COMMUNITY OF DUBLIN, WAS ON LOAN EARLIER THIS YEAR TO AN EXCEPTIONAL EXHIBITION AT THE SCUDERIE DEL QUIRINALE IN ROME CELEBRATING THE 400th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARTIST'S DEATH. THE EXHIBITION ATTRACTED OVER 500,000 VISITORS OVER A PERIOD FIVE MONTHS. THE GALLERY WISHES TO REMIND VISITORS THAT SOME ROOMS WILL BE SUBJECT TO CLOSURE THROUGH THE SUMMER PERIOD TO FACILITATE THE COMMENCEMENT OF RESTORATION TO THE ROOFS OF THE HISTORIC COMPLEX.
