Titian's Twice-Stolen Masterpiece to Fetch Up to $32 Million at Auction

The painting, 'The Rest on the Flight into Egypt,' has a storied past including thefts and rediscovery at a London bus stop.

The painting is expected to sell for between £15 million and £25 million at Christie's in London on July 2.
Originally created in the early 16th century, the painting depicts the Holy Family resting during their flight to Egypt.
It was looted by Napoleonic troops in 1809 and later stolen from Longleat House in 1995.
The artwork was discovered in a plastic bag at a London bus stop in 2002 by art detective Charles Hill.
The painting has been owned by various European aristocrats, archdukes, and emperors over the centuries.
