This early masterpiece by Venetian Renaissance painter Titian has a remarkable history, spanning centuries and continents, before achieving a record-breaking sale. In 1995, the painting was stolen from a British marquess’ home, sparking a worldwide search. Seven years later, it was unexpectedly found in a plastic bag at a London bus stop, and recently, it sold for over $22 million at Christie’s.
