Obra de arte encontrada em cozinha de idosa

By Jordi Bou

October 23, 2019 - Uma obra de arte do início do Renascimento do pintor florentino Cimabue, descoberta na cozinha de uma idosa numa vila perto de Paris,
pode atingir €6m ($6,5m) quando for a leilão.

“Christ Mocked”, part of a series of paintings from the late 13th Century, was discovered at the property in the northern French town of Compiègne.

The elderly owner thought it was just a rather old religious icon when she took it to her local auctioneers to be valued.

The painting is thought to be part of a large diptych dating back to 1280, when Cimabue painted eight scenes depicting Christ's passion and crucifixion.

Two other scenes from the work hang in the National Gallery in London (The Virgin and Child with Two Angels) and the Frick Collection in New York (The Flagellation of Christ).

“Christ Mocked” will go under the hammer at the Acteon auction house in Senlis, north of Paris, on October 27.
