Lost Masterpieces Found in Unexpected Places.
A painting by Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Younger, hidden in a family house for years, has been rediscovered and is expected to fetch between 600,000 to 800,000 euros at auction in Paris. The painting, "L'Avocat du village (the Village Lawyer)," is one of Brueghel's largest known works and was unknown in the art world as the family who had possessed it since the 1900s thought it was fake. The artwork was bought as an authentic one, but over several generations had completely lost its authenticity within the family.
