Rediscovered Rubens Crucifixion to Be Auctioned in Paris on Nov. 30
- French auctioneer Jean-Pierre Osenat discovered a long-lost painting by Peter Paul Rubens in a Paris mansion in September 2024.
- Osenat found the artwork while preparing to sell the mansion located in Paris's 6th arrondissement, and the painting had been missing since 1613.
- The 105.5 by 72.5 cm painting depicts a crucified Christ isolated against a dark sky and was authenticated after extensive research by German art historian Nils Buttner.
- Osenat called the work "a true profession of faith," praised its very good condition, and noted it was likely created for a private collector before belonging to 19th-century painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
- The artwork is scheduled for auction on November 30, 2024, representing a rare and important find within the Flemish Baroque art movement.
