The title of the article is Van Dyck Painting Found Online which was published in BBC NEWS Intertiments & Arts on March 9, 2013. A previously unknown painting by 17th Century master Van Dyck has been identified after being spotted online.
1. It was seen by an art historian on the BBC website.
2. The expert Dr Christopher Brown investigated this incident and was convinced that the author of that painting was Van Dyck, a court artist for King Charles I in London in 1632.
3. The portrait depicts Olivia Boteler Porter, lady-in-waiting to Charles I's wife Henrietta Maria.
4. The found picture was in a very bad condition but was estimated at the auction at 1 million dollars.
This situation seems very silly for me because I can't understand how such work of art was unnoticed so long.
