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. |
