Wouldn't you hate to be the owner of this painting? He must be agonizing over whether or not he just spent 50 Million dollars on a worthless painting!

| The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is refuting claims that a painting it bought for a reported $50 million US is a fake. Museum officials released a statement saying they had "no reason to doubt" the authenticity of Duccio's Madonna and Child, dating back to 1300. It's alleged to be the most expensive piece of art the museum has ever bought. |
Considering that its thought to be genuine by the majority of people, I doubt they will ever really know if it is a fake, and it will be said that it is real by the museum. But in the back of peoples minds, they will be wondering if its a 19th century fake or an original 1300's Duccio painting.
