Well, the question is clear. I am afraid only that today's youth do not understand such things. Here is what is sad.

And what of her youth to do if her first branded ones, followed by others? Then they grow up and take the same brand.
The history of his country must first of all to respect no matter how heavy it was not. Then, perhaps, no reason to be so hard to change it.

At the auction of a small private Gilding's auction house in the British county of Leicestershire painting by an unknown artist, exhibited with the evaluation of 300-500 pounds, went under the hammer for 205 thousand pounds (410 thousand dollars). Specialists in painting old masters now suspect that the man's portrait was written by the great Italian artist Titian XVI century, and that an unidentified buyer knew about it and carefully prepared for the auction. Of unusual events on the art market tells newspaper The Guardian. Lot was put up for sale by local woman who has acquired it in 1974 along with other items from the house of Colonel John Paksli. The owner of a portrait up for auction Gilding's in full confidence that the parts with a picture of an unnamed "European artist of XVIII century. However, astute experts from London, whose names were not disclosed, to distinguish in the dark hand of Titian canvas. Apparently, the picture was written by the master between 1510 and 1520 in Venice. Unknown bargained fiercely for the lot, and this drew attention to the usually unremarkable provincial auction sessions.

Simon Dickinson (Simon Dickinson), one of the most respected British art dealers specializing in old masters, in an interview with The Guardian said that while he failed to establish the name of the alleged buyer of Titian, though he had contacted a majority stakeholder. Dickinson is convinced that the fabric is really written by Titian, and believes that the true cost of a picture could reach five million pounds (10 million). Most likely, the new owner of the painting in the near future will try to get an expert opinion as to its authenticity, and it is possible that after some time it appears on one of the big auctions in seven-digit ratings

I began to arise the idea that people get a fever "of unknown masterpieces." You notice how often began to appear with this news - "at auction for $ 55 bought an unknown Rembrandt, Rubens, Da Vinci, etc." Well, how many unknown things? especially those names?? Here I sincerely believe that no it is not Titian, though it can from the past and will do. Especially given the post "A Brief History of Forgery" all this looks even more suspicious.

The etchings of Rembrandt accidentally found in a toilet

Priest named David O'Connell found in a toilet at the Catholic University of America engraving, signed by Rembrandt, wrote on January 13 The Washington Post. Engraving has not attributed, but experts are inclined to believe that its author was indeed a Rembrandt.
O'Connell made an unexpected discovery more than a decade ago, when he became rector of the university. Being in the closet, in search of paper towels priest came to her eyes: engraving, depicting an old man lying under a pile of rubbish on one of the shelves. Having reviewed the image, O'Connell saw that the work signed by Rembrandt.

For a long time, the priest showed the product only to its visitors, and only last year decided to check it for authenticity. Local assessor confirmed that the engraving is original, but he did not see the work itself, finding only her photograph. Authenticity findings later confirmed another expert from California.

According to experts, engraved with a high probability may belong to Rembrandt, but just that no one argues. Whatever it was, the staff of the University organized an exhibition of the archive, where they presented to the public prints and other works that were stored in the collection of the University, but have never been exhibited. How much appreciate the engraving, if its authenticity is proven, is unknown.
