mythologyandhistory, Did you know that a movie accidentally used a #painting thought to be lost?
#Art historian Gergely Barki was watching "Stuart Little" when he saw it.
He had only seen a black-and-white photo before but knew at once that the art in one scene was "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" by #Hungarian Róbert Berény.
The piece had been thought #lost in #WW2!
It took 2 yrs to reach the former set designer. She had bought the piece for $500 in #California in '99.
It sold for $285,700 in 2014.
