I came across this article in telegraph and it caught my attention: apparently there was a flat in Paris that had not been open for 70 years, it's owner an aged woman who passed away in 2010 at 91 years old, fled to the south of France shortly before WW2 and left behind a what seems to be a collection of paintings, furniture, and other items from before the war.
Already one piece in the collection has been auctioned off for €2.1 million, an undiscovered painting by Giovanni Boldini. The painting of a lady now identified as one of his muses <---- how does one pluralize muse?>
Any ways I Just thought this was a lovely story and there are photo's to match, everything in the room has a layer of dust gently coating it and the sunlight making everything in the room glow brilliantly. This is my Favourite Picture it just shows how innocence can be left behind in a flash when one is thrust headfirst into the real world.
here is the Link to the story:
