A story on Yahoo! has it that a recently discovered (and untitled) painting by Giovanni Boldini was auctioned for nearly 3 million dollars. Nobody seemed to know much about the artist until the discovery. Now, he is quite popular - at least for a while. It seems that the best part of the story concerns the apartment where the painting was found. It had not been used in seventy years - since about 1940. The tenant was simply paying the rent while the apartment remained unoccupied. The absent tenant was the granddaughter of the woman who probably posed for the artist - Marthe De Florian. Stories like this are still unfolding and they seem - to most people - very romantic.
