Long-lost Renaissance painting found in elderly woman's kitchen

Next time you visit your grandmother, be sure to help her clean her house because you never know what kind of treasure you'll find. In this case, the treasure found was a rare Renaissance artwork by Florentine painter Cimabue and it turns out it may be worth up to $6.6 million.

Th 13th-century piece, titled The Mocking of Christ, was discovered hanging above a hot plate in a 90-year-old woman's kitchen in France. It is believed to be part of a polyptych—a larger work of painted scenes divided into several panels—which also included the Flagellation of Christ and the Madonna and Child Enthroned Between Two Angels. The painting will go on sale on October 27 at the Actéon auction house in Senlis.
