Un mystérieux autoportrait de Bronzino a doublé son estimation aux enchères

 

1

Le mystère entourant ce chef-d’œuvre de la Renaissance fascine presque autant que la vie de son illustre auteur, le bien-nommé Bronzino, portraitiste officiel de la cour des Médicis au XVIe siècle. Œuvre spoliée attribuée au mauvais peintre, la toile serait selon les experts un portrait de l’artiste lui-même.

Vente : 26 jan. 2023 - Sotheby’s, New York
Estimation : entre 3 et 5 millions $

Résultat : 10 665 000 $, soit le double du prix estimé.
