A FORGOTTEN painting of Christ that was stacked in the storeroom of an Italian museum has been identified as a valuable work of art by the Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna. The painting, The Resurrection of Christ, was thought to be a copy of a lost work by Mantegna from the late-15th century, until the curator of the Accademia Carrara, in Bergamo, Giovanni Valagussa, looked more closely. “I was cataloguing the works in the store room, and made the discovery of a lifetime.” It is thought to be the top half of a larger painting, possibly intended as an altarpiece. The bottom half, Descent into Limbo, sold at Sotheby’s in New York for $28.5 million in 2003. A small cross at the bottom of The Resurrection matches up with the top of Christ’s banner in Descent. Mr Valagussa said: “The cross was like a clue in a thriller.”

'Jimmy the Stiff,' Boise's infamous town drunk, gets a proper toast a century later
James Hogan was laid to rest back in 1907 — the aughts of 100 years ago — without fanfare, although he was accompanied by flowers. He might have been buried in a pauper’s grave, and without flowers, but for some kind-hearted (or perhaps guilty-feeling) citizens who rose to the occasion and passed the hat. Now, 110 years later, a different set of kind-hearted Boiseans pitched in again for Hogan. Perhaps with a bit of an apology toward how society has treated alcoholics in the past, they have done the contemporary form of passing the hat and crowdfunded a proper headstone to honor his passing.
