Ooops! ...... In reading more closely, I guess it was first spied in 2009 so only 10 years.

 

I think 'masterpiece' is a real long stretch

I can't believe all of his other works were that much worse if he made a living at painting

This painting looks only slightly better than Picasso stuff

 

Not my style either but I'd cheerfully take the payout on that $500 bet!

 

I like the story... it's interesting how somebody could recognize it in a movie, 10 years later.

 

Barki is a researcher at the Hungarian National Gallery, so it's within his field of interest. Still... it must have been quite a surprise seeing it in a movie set. There probably aren't many others with the knowledge to spot it.
