What's gonna be sad is when Tom Hanks strips it for the secrets hidden beneath the pigments and it just says, "Psyche! Love, Leo."

It was then restored and authenticated as a painting by Leonardo
I heard on the radio yesterday that a lot of the experts paid to authenticate fine art are being paid based on a percentage of sale price. That's a pretty big incentive to authenticate the art.

There is a good chance this painting isn't a real davinci.

Why does Jesus look like he’s transitioning from one sex to another?

SIAP, but CNBC just reported it sold in 2005 at a Louisiana estate sale for $10,000. In 2013, it went for $80,000,000. OK, so which OT'er has been crying in his craft beer all this time?

I think that's the hardest I've laughed at a single word post since I've been posting on this board.

Dmitry Rybolovlev sold the painting. He's a Russian businessman and he also is the president of soccer team AS Monaco.
