本期內(nèi)容：

A long-lost painting by a celebrated Italian artist that was found hanging in the kitchen of an elderly French woman has sold for (歐元)24m (￡20m; $26.6m) at auction, setting a new record. Christ Mocked, by the pre-Renaissance artist Cimabue, was discovered last month in northern France. The painting was expected to fetch up to (歐元)6m at auction. But the winning bid far exceeded expectations, with the painting fetching four times the estimate.
