Ansorena A painting that was auctioned in Madrid for 1,500 euros could be Caravaggio's 'Ecce homo'
Initial offer of 1,500 euros The Caravaggio withdrawn from the Madrid auction had an international offer of 20 million euros
Until now it was not known of its existence.
Apparently, lot 229 was one more of the many paintings that were going to be auctioned at the Ansorena house in Madrid this Thursday, an oil on canvas measuring 111 x 86 centimeters entitled
The Coronation of Thorns,
attributed to the circle of José de Ribera ( XVII century).
Ribera was one of
Caravaggio's
disciples
, along with Saraceni, Cecco and Manfredi.
If someone speculated that this work belonged to the Italian master, they did not share that feeling.
