Gauguin painting stolen 44 years ago hung in autoworker's kitchen

I wouldn't have even Hung them on a wall. :o

Maybe the second one, But I doubt it. It looks faded from age & damaged..

A pair of paintings by French artists Paul Gauguin and Pierre Bonnard that had been missing for four decades has been recovered by Italian authorities who said that the works of art were hanging in a kitchen of a retired Sicilian autoworker who was unaware of their value.

Though the autoworker paid little for the paintings, they are both highly prized. The Gauguin is believed to be worth $14 million to $41 million.
