The Man Who Found a Painting Worth $100 Million in His Kitchen

In 2019, a French woman decided to sell her house and called in appraisers to value her furniture.

Above her cooking space, they found a small dusty painting — saints, angels, the usual.

Turns out it was a 13th-century Cimabue, one of the earliest Italian masters.

It sold at auction for $108 million.

The woman had been cleaning it with a sponge for decades.

She thought it was just “grandma’s weird religious art.”
