ART-PAINTING: EARLY RENAISSANCE PAINTING FOUND IN FRENCH KITCHEN FETCHES $36 MILLION
A rare masterpiece by Italian early Renaissance master Cimabue that was discovered in a French kitchen was sold on Sunday for 24 million euros (S$36 million), about five times the initial estimate.
The Acteon auction house did not identify the winning bidder for the painting, “Christ Mocked”, at the sale in Senlis, outside Paris.
The selling price, which included fees, smashed the initial estimate of between four million and six million euros.
