A VELAZQUEZ oil painting is finally home, after being discovered languishing in a back room of Yale University.

The large canvas โ€“ named the Education of the Virgin Mary โ€“ has returned to Diego Velazquezโ€™s home town of Sevilla for an exhibition of the Spanish masterโ€™s earlier works, painted when he still lived in the city.
