In one of the oldest palaces in Paris, a work by Rubens, lost 400 years ago, was accidentally found. This was officially reported by the Franceinfo television channel.
It turned out that the famous painting "Christ on the Cross" by Peter Paul Rubens, dating back to the first quarter of the 17th century, was discovered during an inventory in September 2024. Jean-Pierre Osen, director and auctioneer of the Osenat auction house, shared his thoughts on this matter, stating, "I found this huge gem - the 'Christ on the Cross' - during the inventory."
It is assumed that the painting was created in 1613. He met him again during an inspection of a castle in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. This discovery aroused great interest among art historians and historians. The work has not only aesthetic value, but also enriches our knowledge of the history of art of the 17th century and the development of Rubens's work.
It should be noted that such historical discoveries have occurred before. For example, the remains of a 16th-century sinking ship were found at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. According to experts, the ship could have sailed out of a port in northwestern Italy. This is also among such accidental discoveries and significant dates for those interested in art and history.
Rubens's work "Christ on the Cross" aroused great interest among art historians and collectors throughout Europe. This discovery is a significant event for art lovers in Paris and around the world, further increasing attention to the issues of preserving and restoring historical works of art.
