☆ Long-lost $26 million masterpiece found in kitchen heads to the Louvre after 4-year campaign

CNN —The Louvre Museum in Paris has added a “national treasure” to its collection four years after it was discovered during a house clearance. “Christ Mocked” by the Florentine painter Cimabue was found in an elderly woman’s house in the town of Compiegne in 2019. She had kept the rare artwork – which she thought was a Greek religious icon – in her kitchen. But the French government then stepped in to block its export, assigning the painting “national treasure” status. It will join the much larger Cimabue painting “Maestà” in the Louvre collection, and both works will be part of an exhibition event in spring 2025, according to the ministry.

This article is part of our special report on the Art for Tomorrow conference in the Italian cities of Florence and Solomeo. When Laurence des Cars was appointed president-director of the Louvre in 2021, it was a historic marker. The world’s most visited museum had a woman in charge for the first time since it was founded in 1793. “Top jobs are symbols,” Ms. des Cars said recently in an interview. “And I take the symbol very seriously.”At the time, she already held an important lead role at a major institution, running the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, but the reaction to the Louvre news surprised her for what she called the “intensity and worldwide echo of the announcement.”Ms. des Cars was the highest-profile example in a wave of women taking the top jobs at some of the world’s biggest museums.
