...year. Mantegna worked on the deeply spiritual canvas between 1495 and 1505, when he was court painter for the worldly Gonzagas of Mantua. They would have appreciated the jealousies the sale has triggered. Britain may still seek to keep the painting in the country by refusing to grant an export license. And Daniel Wildenstein, an unsuccessful bidder, howled, "I am furious not to have the picture." The Marquess of Northampton, however, was said to be delighted by the price.

The price of gold, which provides more than 50% of South African export earnings, has held stagnant since 1983, and inflation (now 16%) and unemployment (estimated at 8.4% among the work force) were on the rise. The recession hit blacks hardest, and under the twin pressures of economic squeeze and political dissatisfaction, violence flared in the black townships. Much of it was directed...
