Lost Botticceli painting found in Italy

The discovered Madonna painting dates back to the 15th century and is worth 100 million euros.

A painting by the famous Italian painter Sandro Botticceli, believed to have disappeared more than 50 years ago, has been found in a family home near Naples, The Guardian reports.

It is noted that the found painting dates back to the 15th century and is estimated at 100 million euros. The painting was originally kept in a church in the town of Santa Maria la Carita, after which it was entrusted to a local family, who kept it for many generations.

“The last time the authorities inspected the private residence where the Botticceli painting was kept was more than 50 years ago. Since then, inexplicably, the painting has been forgotten by the authorities,” said Massimiliano Croce from the command of the Carabinieri for the protection of culture. heritage

The canvas is in poor condition, with numerous abrasions and changes in paint colors caused by oxidation of applied varnishes. Now the painting is being restored and plans to show it to the public.

Art historian Peppe Di Masa says the painting is one of Botticcelli’s favorite works because the Madonna it depicts was inspired by Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci, the artist’s muse.

It was previously reported that unknown portraits of Rembrandt had been discovered in Britain.

And in the USA, a painting was accidentally discovered in a barn under a layer of dirt, which became a masterpiece in the 17th century.
