Spain Blocks Auction of Painting at the Last Minute, Piece Could be a Priceless Caravaggio

Spain Blocks Auction of Painting at the Last Minute, Piece Could be a Priceless Caravaggio News18 3 hours ago News18 © Provided by News18 Spain Blocks Auction of Painting at the Last Minute, Piece Could be a Priceless Caravaggio Spanish authorities have slapped an export ban on a painting a day before it was due to be auctioned with a starting price tag of 1,500 euros ($1,780), saying it could be a lost work by Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The oil-on-canvas work apparently depicts the Biblical passage of the Ecce Homo, in which Jesus Christ is presented to the crowds before being crucified. The 111-by-86-centimeter (44-by-34-inch) piece had been attributed to disciples of José de Ribera, a 17th-century Spanish painter who was fond of Caravaggio’s work.
