Seraph's Watch

A "lost" painting by British artist Ford Madox Brown has been found in a private collection and will go on show at Manchester Art Gallery from 24 September to 29 January 2012: Ford Madox Brown: Pre-Raphaelite Pioneer. A copy of the painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti fetched £100,000 at a London auction in 2006. I'm not sure whether this graphic shows Rossetti's copy of The Seraph's Watch or Brown's original of 1847. The BBC is confused about which direction the picture should face (title link). This is the longer version it first posted. I've turned it round, assuming the BBC corrected itself.
