(Original Caption) Washington: Dectective work on the part of a curator at Paris' Louvre Museum has resulted in the reunion, after a separation of more than a century, of two bronze scuptures into a single major statuette of the Italian Renaissance, the National Gallery announced Feb. 17. The Gallery, put on public view the rejoined "Saint Christopher Carrying the Christ child with the Globe World," a 14-inch bronze loosely attributed to Bartomeleo Bellano (1434-1496). The Christ Child is from the Kress collection in the National Gallery, here. Bertrand Jestaz, curator at the Louvre saw the Kress statuette then titled "Boy with Ball" while in Washington last Spring and thought it characteristic of a Louvre?
