A copy of a Raphael - yours for £1m
June 7 2013
Picture: The De Brecy Trust
Some years ago I was taken to a bank vault in London to look at the above picture, which was claimed to be a contemporary copy or version of Raphael's Sistine Madonna.
The picture is now being sold by the De Brecy Trust, which owns it, in an online auction with an opening bid of £1m. Various claims, some backed by 'science', are made for the picture.
I can say only one thing - caveat emptor.
