So the take-away from this is that a $25 painting is - or can be - just as good as a $26M painting. So much for the art market.I don't know how on earth anyone, not just an art critic or art appraiser, could possibly value a genuine painting of that quality (ie, not a print or copy) at $25. That is just insane.

The article says they believed it was a contemporaneous copy by a nobody artist, and the “$25” was the equivalent of a couple thousand in current dollars.
Just being old doesn’t make articles valuable, as people who inherit old books discover to their sorrow.

He is related: “The name Bendor is derived from the Grosvenor family’s medieval heraldic shield, a bend or, a golden bend (diagonal stripe), which they used until 1389 when it was claimed instead by the Scrope family, in the case Scrope v. Grosvenor. Bendor is the grandson of Robert Grosvenor, 5th Baron Ebury, and the 4th cousin once removed of Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster.(He is fourth in line to the Marquessate of Westminster after the Earl of Wilton,Viscount Grey de Wilton,and his first cousin Alexander Grosvenor). “

My prior comment, as amended: So much for art critics and appraisers (the ones, at least as regards modern “art”, who want to tell us that crap is great).
Real art has no use for either critics or appraisers. It’s prima facie obvious to the beholder. Pay whatever you want, or can afford, for it.

The art market has become a way to move large sums of cash from one country to another by buying a painting at auction.
