c. 1599 Caravaggio painting could sell for $171M

A long-lost, and controversial, Caravaggio painting discovered in an attic after more than 100 years will go on the block in France on June 27 — with an estimate of $171 million.

The work, “Judith Beheading Holofernes,” will go on display in London, Paris and New York before it’s auctioned off in Toulouse, where the 1599 work was discovered by auctioneer Marc Labarbe in 2014 when he was helping clear out a client’s attic.

But the authenticity of the work has been debated in art circles: Some art historians have cast doubt, while France’s culture minister has classified it as a national treasure.

'For the rest of the days of her life, she was a central part of mine. She was beautiful, obviously, and an immensely talented actor, and a wonderful friend, but more than anything she really did radiate this impossibly bright energy and life. 

'Even in her dark moments. And she had plenty of those, especially over the last few years. I'm trying to take comfort in knowing your struggles and pain and grief are at last, and last behind you.'
