Da Vinci Works Found in Evansville
The CourierPress has a really fascinating story. They require a somewhat annoying free registration, but it’s worth the read.
Here’s the intro:
In 1962, Ray and Nancy Hagensieker drove to Seymour, Ind., to visit the grieving widow of a favorite uncle. When the Evansville couple arrived, they found their aunt dragging out wooden crates of old books, newspapers and documents that her late husband had collected and stashed away for years. She was piling it all into a trash heap, getting ready to burn it.
“Don’t you think some of this might be worth something someday?” Ray Hagensieker recalls asking. The aunt, left wealthy by her husband’s death and anxious to clear out the clutter of her home, responded: “Go ahead and take what you want.”
And here’s the final paragraph:
“This is certainly different than any case I’ve had before,” said Barsumian. Lawrence, meanwhile, has never wavered in his belief that the Hagensiekers had themselves a real da Vinci, but he understands the skeptics: “The art world is filled with people too arrogant to believe that you could find Leonardo in the basement of a house in Evansville, Indiana.”
Hat Tip: In the Agora
Josh Claybourn is right, it’s like a real life “Da Vinci Code.”
