The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute of Williamstown, Mass., will be unveiling a new loan at 1 p.m. this Friday, April 17: Albert Bierstadt’s “Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast,” recently arrived from the Seattle Art Museum.

The famed romantic painting is a temporary visitor in New England thanks to a friendly football wager back in January, when the two museums bet that their respective home team would the Super Bowl. Had the Seahawks beaten the Patriots, the Clark would have shipped off Winslow Homer’s “West Point, Prout’s Neck” for a visit to Seattle.
