Not such a Bogus Botticelli
In an episode of Britain’s Lost Masterpieces they have found an original Botticelli known as Madonna and Child with pomegranate. The 500-year-old painting was languishing in storage in the National Museum of Wales. It was attributed as a follower of Botticelli. The Pomegranate in the painting represents the suffering of Christ. A Botticelli scholar decided that the work has come from the studio of Botticelli, and that many parts of it probably would have been painted by the master himself.
