意大利检方周五表示,一幅被发现藏在意大利一家博物馆墙壁内的油画,已被证实是奥地利画家古斯塔夫•克里姆特的一幅失窃画像。也就是在这幅画失踪的20年之后它被找回。检察官奥内拉·奇卡对记者说,我可以非常激动地告诉你们,这幅画是真的。他指的是上个月园丁在皮亚琴察的里奇·奥迪现代艺术画廊的外墙内发现的这幅画。
Museum officials had initially said they could not immediately determine whether the painting was indeed the stolen Klimt until scientific tests were performed. Painted in 1916-1917, the Expressionist work depicts the face and torso of a young woman with brown hair, over an emerald green background.
博物馆官员最初表示,在进行科学测试之前,他们不能马上确定这幅画是否确实是被盗的克里姆特的作品。这幅表现主义作品创作于1916年至1917年,描绘了一位棕色头发的年轻女性的面部和躯干,背景为翠绿色。
The painting -- which the museum estimated could be worth between 60 and 100 million euros (USD 67-111 million) -- went missing in February 1997 while the museum was closed for work. In December, gardeners removing ivy from a wall found a small ventilation space inside of which they discovered the painting, without a frame, wrapped in a black garbage bag.
据该博物馆估计,这幅画的价值在6000万到1亿欧元(约合6700万到1.11亿美元)之间。1997年2月,这幅画在博物馆闭馆期间失踪。去年12月,园丁们在拆除墙上的常春藤时,找到了一个小小的通风空间,在里面发现了这幅没有画框的画,它被包裹在一个黑色的垃圾袋里。
