Baroness Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza, age 69, is selling John Constable’s painting “The Lock” because she is apparently suffering “liquidity” problems brought on by Spain’s economic crisis.

It is expected to raise up to £25 million and the piece is housed in Madrid’s Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.
However, the proposed sale is causing an uproar with Spanish art fanatics and has even ignited a bitter family feud.
