Gulbenkian Museum

One benefit to Lisbon of its neutrality during World War II was that it captured the estate of Calouste Gulbenkian, a Turkish-born Armenia. Gulbenkian aided 4 oil companies in obtaining oil rights in Turkey. His fee? 5 per cent of the profits.
He had very good taste. Plus he used the service of Sir Kenneth Clarke in compiling an extraordinary art collection. He actually purchased items from the Hermitage when the Communists were cash poor during the twenties.
He was living in Paris when the Germans invaded. He bargained his fortune and art collection for safety in Portugal, where he lived until his death in 1955.
There is so much here. I just picked out this Edward Bourne Jones because it reminded me of our visit to the Cotswolds.
