Titian discovery at Dorotheum
May 9 2022
Video: Dorotheum
At Dorotheum on 11th May, a previously unknown Titian of the Penitent Magdalene will be offered, with an estimate of €1m-€1.5m. The composition was one of Titian's most popular, and often turns up optimistically as as Titian/Attributed/Workshop. But this one looks entirely right, and has a good claim to some very illustrious provenance. I suspect the estimate will be easily beaten. The catalogue entry is here.
Update - it made €4.8m.
