Sold for a song work of Leonardo brought Christie's pre-trial

[Мимопроходил]

Britain 'Gene Marchig (Jeanne Marchig) sued the auction house Christie's, wrote The Guardian. Marchig accuses auctioneers in the fact that they sell its image of Leonardo da Vinci for a pittance.
This is a figure known as La Bella Principessa. It was believed that it was created in the XIX century in Germany, but in 2009, critics sensationally announced that the image belongs to the XV century, and its author - Leonardo. Such an attribution, in particular, justify a fingerprint of Leonardo, found on parchment.

In 1998 Marchig sell its image in just 19 thousand dollars. Now she blames Christie's experts is that they carelessly took their responsibilities when the product was evaluated, because of what she has lost a lot of money. Now La Bella Principessa participates in an exhibition in Sweden, organized by the insured figure is 100 million dollars. They also argue that the cost of Leonardo than $ 150 million. How many calls Marchig not reported.

The petition, which saw journalists The Guardian, states that there is sufficient evidence attribution Picture: In addition to the fingerprint data is also radiocarbon dating, which dates back to the work of 1440 - 1650 years, and not XIX century. The plaintiff alleges that Christie's experts ignored the scientific methods in determining the value of the work.

Nevertheless, the newspaper said, not all scientists believe in the authorship of Leonardo. So, Jacques Franck (Jacques Franck), an expert on Da Vinci of the University of California, said that "it is not the hand of Leonardo." According to him, the figure is the anatomical errors, in particular - in a place of transition from the neck to the breast image of a girl. Doubts about the authorship of The Da Vinci expressed before. /Lenta.ru

We live in a law through the looking glass, so for us this situation is impossible - make a claim after 10 years.
He threw all the hot (fingerprint), it should be noted that there has been negligence (not willful act) of the experts - the dating was listed them wrong.
So there is every chance Marchig a little rich.
I believe that the court did not take place due zalyucheniya settlement agreement.
Too bad - a lot of unknown now be known.

Marchig Today, tomorrow and went Dopchik-poehalo.A settlement agreement is a de facto partial recognition of the rightness isttsa.Krome addition, I am sure the legal department of Christie's in the preparation of papers provides all the options. Including re-examination. As well as the order and the dates and filing.
