Michelangelo’s drawing sells at Paris auction

The Renaissance artist Michelangelo’s drawing, which was rediscovered years later, was auctioned off by Christie’s in Paris, France’s capital. The Italian artist’s work was auctioned off for €23,162,000.

Michelangelo’s drawing was last auctioned in 1907, when it was discovered years later in a French collection. The piece is said to be a replica of the fresco “The Baptism of the Neophytes” by Italian painter Masaccio, which can be found in the Brancacci church in Florence.
