“The 10-inch painting, titled Mocking of Christ, is expected to fetch up to $6.5 million when it is auctioned Oct. 27 by Acteon.”

6.5 MILLION??????

Oh, good. They found my property. I’ve been looking for it the past few centuries.

Nothing in the article about how a Cimabue ended up in kitchen in a Northern French provincial city. Must be a fascinating story.

WOW! I’ve seen pictures of a number of thirteenth century paintings in various history books, including a portrait of Edward I of England. None of them depicted depth and the human face as well as this one. Quite a find.

A long-lost painting...

How long? Feels like the paintings heisted from the Gardner Museum have been "long-lost".

Good thing she wasn’t a very good housekeeper or she’d have sprayed it with 409 the past 50 years.
