I heard about this painting, this morning, on ‘BBC‘. I was skeptical. Had to look it up — & I did. I am still skeptical.
Collector bought it, online, from a London gallery for $37,000 last year.
Initially authenticated by ONE ‘expert’. Then by AI?
But, just three days earlier I had seen this:
Just seems too good to be true. It just doesn’t sit well with me. Plus, to my UNTRAINED eye it doesn’t have the usual delicate magic of a Raphael. Kind of a spooky image.
Well, you decide. I just wanted to share the story & my doubts with YOU.
