2015 Exhibition.
In 2015 the National Gallery of Art loaned
the "Small Cowper Madonna" to the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts (U.S.) to be exhibited alongside "The Virgin and Child (The Northbrook Madonna)". The Northbrook Madonna is in the Worcester Art Museum's permanent collection and was once attributed to Raphael. One hope of the exhibition was to identify the Master of the Northbrook Madonna.
