The Blue Room

Image underneath “The Blue Room” painting
I love stories about finding unknown paintings by famous artists or recovering stolen paintings.
Here is a really fascinating story. A portrait of a man was found underneath Picasso’s “The Blue Room” painting. Many artists “reuse” canvas especially if they are unhappy with a painting.
Since 1954 conservators suspected there was another painting underneath but didn’t have the technology to discover it without damaging “The Blue Room”. Read more about this discovery here.
