Documentary

100 min

-

A painting that hung in the living room of a Madrid family for years is to be auctioned for just €1,500. The work, entitled “Ecce Homo,” is a painting by Caravaggio that was believed to be lost, a so-called “sleeper.” Once art historians and art dealers recognized the work as the lost Caravaggio, an intense race began in the art market scene to acquire it. The documentary provides an exclusive insight into the complex market for antique art.
