Spanish government stops auction of a possible Caravaggio

By Reuters Staff 2 Min Read MADRID (Reuters) - A last-minute intervention by Spain’s Culture Ministry has prevented a painting it believes could be the work of Italian master Caravaggio from going on the auction block in Madrid on Thursday. Auction house Ansorena said it had withdrawn the painting identified as “The Crown of Thorns”, with a starting price of just 1,500 euros ($1,785) from sale, after the ministry told it on Wednesday the work could not be exported and experts were studying its provenance. Currently attributed to an artist belonging to the circle of 17th century Spanish painter Jose de Ribera, the oil painting depicts an agonized Christ, blood dripping from his crown of thorns.
