Visitors and tourists wandering around the St James’s area of central London on 6 April may well see figures and objects from Old Masters paintings running alongside. Christie’s specialists in the field have organised an “Old Masters run to beat cancer”, and have promised to pound the block dressed as Dutch still-lifes, a Dürer rhino and even a Stubbs horse. The Old Masters mini-marathon will set off from King Street at 11am. “The department has been affected by cancer through the loss of 19th-century art specialist Sebastian Goetz,” a spokeswoman says.
