That would be such a shame! I understand that the costs are just too high to be paid by a state institution, but usually a collector's interest isn't always to use the masterpiece to educate.

This feels like an attempt to shake down some local English aristocracy/bureaucracy for money.
I presume there are a zillion ways to prevent this from leaving if people really cared.
